SUMMARY:Barbed Wire\, Windmills and Railroads – The Technology that Really Won the West.
DESCRIPTION:In Arizona and throughout the West\, three innovations helped make farming and living possible: Windmills brought groundwater to the surface\, barbed wire sectioned the vast landscape into parcels\, and railroads moved men\, women\, families and materials from back east. In the old West\, there were over 8 million windmills\, a man caught cutting down a barbed wire fence was often found hanging from a rope\, and railroads gave us time zones and the Blue Plate Special. Brave men and women won the West but the new technology made it possible. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

SUMMARY:Theodore Roosevelt Slept Here
DESCRIPTION:Theodore Roosevelt exhibited a greater influence on Arizona than perhaps any other president. He was the first sitting president to visit Arizona\, employed an executive order to preserve the Grand Canyon\, established a variety of wildlife refuges and reclamation projects\, and enjoyed outdoor recreation in the area. This program will share Roosevelt’s widespread influence in Arizona\, and also explore some stories of dubious accuracy that inevitably sprout from such a larger-than-life character. \nKevin Schindler is an award-winning educator and writer who has worked for more than 20 years at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Schindler was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored 6 books\, written more than 500 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun. In 2019 Kevin was awarded the Friends of the Humanities Award by Arizona Humanities.

SUMMARY:The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of WWII
DESCRIPTION:During World War II over one thousand women served as Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)\, freeing male pilots for combat roles at a critical time during the war. The WASP ferried planes from factories to embarkation points; performed engineer test flying of repaired aircraft and did target towing for gunnery training. By the spring of 1944\, every P-51 Mustang flown in combat had already been flown by a WASP. This presentation shares their stories as fliers\, patriots\, and women who had to fight for the right to be called veterans. \nNatalie J. Stewart-Smith has been an educator for over 25 years and taught at the elementary\, high school\, and college levels. As a former Army officer and historian\, she is interested in women’s contributions to the military\, particularly those who served as military aviators.
