The April 6, 2014 post reported on how the AHS was planning to
raise $10 million with the 48 Women Group and convert the mineral museum building
into a “public center”. According to a Phoenix
Magazine article, former Phoenix mayor John Driggs was the spokesperson for
this ambitious AHS project. The May 14, 2014 post reported that the AHS
was planning to host a $50 a plate luncheon for the 48 Women to begin planning
the grand new project.
How many of the 48 Women came to the luncheon?
How much money was raised?
If the project is on
track, then why was John Driggs at the April 16 Arizona State Parks board
meeting seeking support for the “future
of the former El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium building located in the capital mall
area of Phoenix.” It is common knowledge
that the Arizona Parks Service has no money.
Did the 48 Woman Group dump the
AHS when they discovered the “public center” plan would cheat Arizona kids out
of any chance to restore their museum (mineral museum)?
Note: The AHS now refers to the empty
mineral museum building as the “former El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium.” Do they really think that will make people
forget about the AHS slamming the mineral museum doors in the face of kids on 3rd
grade field trips?
Is this the same John Driggs who when he was in Washington D.C. saw the statue of John Greenway and asked who is he? (Arizona is represented by John Greenway and Father E. Kino). He then had Barry Goldwater replace Greenway.
ReplyDeleteSo to have Mr. John Driggs state that the successful Mineral Museum be called the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium may be just because he is stupid. After all he doesn't even know our state's history have to ask who is John Greenway. What a dolt.
Here is some history for Mr.Driggs.......Destruction of the Mineral Museum, Centennial Museum,The Five "C"'s Museum, The Arizona Experience Museum, The 48 Women Party Central Headquarters.....and now Mr. Driggs asking the Az State parks for some kind of help. The State Parks Board meeting was not very clear. Certainly the AHS does not have the "first team" in the game. Time to take Driggs out. He is fumbling every play!.
