    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (April 6, 2017) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting a special presentation on Wednesday April 19 at 1:30 p.m.  entitled “Memories of Sedona – The 1940s” with Sedona natives Paul Thompson and Ruth Jordan Van Epps.

    Paul’s grandfather was the first permanent Anglo settler in Oak Creek Canyon and has many memories of what it was like when he was a kid in the 1940s at Red Rock/Sedona.  His stories will include living under the dark clouds of WWII, the success of the Normandy invasion and when Elmer Purtymun and some of Paul’s cousins built the House of Apache Fire for Helen Frye.

    Ruth was the daughter of Walter and Ruth Jordan who established and ran the Jordan orchards, the largest private employer in Sedona at one time.  She will share memories of how the news of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor reached her family, how rationing  and a shortage of men impacted her family’s orchard business and what daily life was like in general at that time in the small village of Sedona.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
