    Chris McDaniel, The Courier|Jun 2, 2021

    Chris McDaniel, The Courier|Jun 2, 2021

    It is hard to imagine any family living long in these United States not being touched by the ravages of war. Many good men and women have been lost in service to our country. They left behind mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, cousins and friends. For me, Memorial Day immediately reminds me of my grandmother's brother, James E. "Jimmy" Joyner, Jr. Jimmy arrived in Europe in about June 1944. He was a forward observer for an artillery unit. In his position, he was particularly hated by the enemy because his radio communiques helped...

    Federal Bureau of 'Cyber Ninjas' A few months back, the Republican controlled Arizona State Senate ordered a recount of all 2.1 million votes cast for president and senate in Maricopa County, which includes the city of Phoenix.

In March, Senate President Karen Fann signed an...

  • Toddlers Once Dressed in Unisex Outfits

    Gwen Cornwell, For the Courier|Jun 2, 2021

    When I have had the opportunity to visit Western Drug these past few months, I have immediately noticed the lovely crocheted baby dresses on display. This always brings to mind the baby pictures of girl babies taken in the earlier years. Many of us had cute little dresses like the ones on display at Western. Mine was a nice yellow and white color and definitely crochet by a family friend. And then, my mind wanders. How many baby pictures of some of your male ancestors have you been fortunate enough to view? It is amazing that most all of the...
