Comments on: A New Chapter in Arizona Storytelling http://arizonaoddities.com/2009/05/welcome-to-the-start-of-something-big/ History that defined us, quirks that connect us Sat, 24 Jul 2010 04:40:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Bob Ball http://arizonaoddities.com/2009/05/welcome-to-the-start-of-something-big/comment-page-1/#comment-96 Bob Ball Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:05:26 +0000 http://arizonaoddities.com/?p=6#comment-96 My wife and I are English, live in England (with all our own oddities, eccentricities and history), but have fallen in love with Arizona, and it's history, so much so, that we've bought a house there! It's a joy to read some of these tales and memories, and Clay Thompson's column has become staple daily reading for us, as well as reading his books! We love this web site, and look forward to many more stories and entries from everyone here!

I grew to love the state and miss it terribly now that I'm back in Texas after the death of my husband. I lived in the same house in Scottsdale for 27 years and worked for one of its first attorneys, Donald J. Baumann. Later I worked for Corral Industries, Inc. and then Maricopa County for many years. After retirement and doing a lot of travel, we settled down with small dual residences in Mesa and Show Low. My idea of the perfect life! Anyone besides me remember the "Refuse Wranglers" who rounded up the residents' trash in Scottsdale while wearing western wear?
