Clent said thanks to the members who joined the Leadership Zoom calls on Saturday.Greg Raskin was Sargent.
Bud introduced the speakers, Wendy, Bradley & Drew. Bradley spoke about his book, Murder & Mayhem in Prescott. Brad started with a song called "Down to Whiskey Row." He told the story of the night of June 28, 1986 where an explosion happened at the Cabinet & Palace Saloons. The book, Murder & Mayhem in Prescott: Despite its early law enforcement presence, Prescott's place in the violent history of Yavapai County is written in blood. The jealousy, greed and pure meanness of some of its citizens produced shocking trails of destruction and death. The Keystone Saloon couldn't keep a proprietor--a series of owners was found dead with gunshot wounds. A driver-for-hire was brutally assaulted and his car stolen in Prescott's first homicidal carjacking. Two nurses conspired to poison a rich patient in their care. From the shootout that began Virgil Earp's career to knifings and dynamite attacks, Prescott history blogger Drew Desmond and Whiskey Row historian and author Bradley G. Courtney tell rarely heard stories that once rocked the town.
President's Message
Clent Walker
Greetings my friends and fellow Sunupians, I hope your week is off to a wonderful start and that all of the mothers in club had a great and Happy Mother’s Day. As we all know, this has really been a trying year in so many ways. As some of our members have had to resign or leave the club for whatever reason, I want to say Thank You to them all and that my year as president was made better having had each of you on board. May there always be light on your path and may your travels be safe. Please enjoy the rest of your week and I hope to see you all on Wednesday.
“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart”
