    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (February 22, 2021) – The Sedona Heritage Museum has posted the next in their popular Living History speaker series on their YouTube channel.Linda Starr is a collector of many types of antiques, but her button collection is probably her ‘smallest’. Her button collection began when she inherited a collection from a fellow antique enthusiast. “Whatever their material, size, age, or lineage, buttons are fascinating little things.” she says. “Men started the button fad. Ever notice the size and number of buttons in historic paintings? Through history buttons have been utilitarian, decorative and a sign of class.”

    In her program, Starr will explain the history of buttons, and display her hundreds of buttons, including samples collection from the early 1800s-1940s. Some of her other collections are Santa’s, vintage bottles before 1900, Bakelite, Zane Grey books, wedding dresses from 1870 -1980, and over 200 vintage hats from 1850 to 1960. Linda has been in The Questers, an international antique appreciation group, for over 50 years, serving at the state and international levels. She is also a genealogist and loves history.

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
