    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (February 26, 2012) – On Saturday March 3, the Sedona Heritage Museum will host a mini-family reunion of the descendants of Jim and Maggie Thompson. This event is intended as an opportunity for area residents to meet the Thompsons, ask questions and hear stories. It will be held in conjunction with the Sedona Main Street Program’s St. Patrick’s Parade festival on Jordan Road from noon to about 2 pm.

    Jim Thompson was Oak Creek Canyon’s first permanent Anglo settler, arriving in 1876. He married Maggie James and they raised nine children at their Indian Gardens ranch. The Thompson family made many contributions to Sedona area life during our first 100 years.

    100 Thompsons are expected to attend. You’ll know who they are by the large buttons they’ll be wearing, identifying their relationship to Jim and Maggie. There will also be a display of Thompson family historic photos and a family tree.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
