... We had family and friends in Arizona politics. It did not really matter if your were Republican or Democrat. What mattered is that you did your job governing for the good of the State and the people that elected you, NOT for a party or ideology. The Teapublican crazies had not swarmed in yet, and Blacks, Latinos and us Gringos all got along. We ate each other's foods, we went to each other's churches, all the kids went to the same schools. We partied together, we laughed together, we cried together.

I drive through Globe about once a month or so, on my way back to the Gila Valley to see family. On the outskirts of Globe along the highway are signs that proclaim Globe "the home of the First Lady of Arizona," which she most certainly was.
