Kelly and his family have lived in the Prescott area for generations. For many years Kelly has served this community by being a schoolteacher. Three of our children were lucky to have him as their middle-school history teacher. Not only was he able to get their interest and able to actually teach them about our country, but every year he would organize and lead history trips with students. They would travel to D.C., Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania where he would hands-on teach them about the history of our great nation! Never once were our children taught in his classroom which political side to lean toward, he taught both sides equally. He is a true TEACHER HERO and strong Arizona native!

Come & enjoy the local scene in Prescott Arizona!
OUT & ABOUT — Thank you to Molly Romine for sending in this photo of the Prescott Valley Healing Field of Northern Arizona at the Prescott Valley Civic Center. The annual display of nearly 3000 flags is a memorial to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
"Each flagpole bears information about the victims of the attacks. Many visitors have found the names of friends and family, and others have come to pay their respects to the victims and the first responders who gave their lives trying to rescue them."
The flags will be on display until Sept. 18. Thank you to all of the volunteers who install and remove the flags each year.
