MAG"S HAM BUN BUNCH AND THE SCOTTSDALE FIRE DEPARTMENT

Hi Everyone,

The September issues of IMAGES AZ magazine are now available online and are being mailed to 50,000 homes in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

I have two stories published this month.  One relates to The Mag’s Ham Bun Bunch which is an organization of movers and shakers in the Scottsdale area that have been meeting to just basically “shoot the bull” since 1953.  They consider themselves a group where conversations are conducted with  a “no hassles camaraderie.”  To read, click http://imagesaz.com/magazine then click on the box to the right that says “North Scottsdale” and go to page 22.

My other story deals with the evolution of the Scottsdale Fire Department from a leased venture in the early 1950s to a city owned streamlined modern department today.  To read go to http://imagesaz.com/magazine and click the magazine cover on the right that says “Grayhawk” and go to page 34.

Thanks for stopping by.  Leave comments if you wish on the blog page at jmcallister.blogspot.com.
