CF Plake Bible

This Bible had been housed in the pulpit at Life Tabernacle. It lay open at the scripture of Dad's last sermon. On Sunday, July 29, Dennis McDaniel presented it to me in a ceremony at the church.

Phoenix-Tucson commuter rail gains support

It's good to see that public officials are beginning to notice that a commuter rail between Phoenix and Tucson is needed.

Phoenix and Tucson are on a collision course with about twenty miles left to connect. Catherine Reagor in her Arizona Republic article says, "Arizona's two largest metropolitan areas are on course to meet and merge within a decade, engulfing several small towns along the way."

City and town officials between Phoenix and Tucson must develop a futuristic mind-set for the coming decade like the Vice Mayor of Mesa, Claudia Walters. In kicking off a meeting of Commuter Rail Stakeholders Group, she said "We must have rail that connects Phoenix to Tucson...This is for the future of our children and grandchildren."
