Art in Our Valley celebrates Jean Harrison’s long service
The Phoenix Fine Arts Association plans a tea for longtime treasurer Jean Harrison, highlighting her start as a young artist-member in 1926 and her tireless work with the Arizona Artists Guild and Phoenix art institutions. Biographical clips recount travels, Chicago study, and leadership roles from 1937 to 1944, ending with a shift toward painting leisure while aiding the Civic Center and Fine Arts programs. Roy Mason will give a watercolor demonstration at Camelback Galleries on April 19 at 2 p.m.

A Lucky Day Believed By Barkley and McFarland
Vice President Barkley links luck to Friday the 13th and Woodrow Wilson. He prefers not to have bad luck in November due to election timing, his birthday, and wedding anniversary. Senate Majority Leader McFarland recalls a lucky Friday the 13th in 1919 when he found bank work in Phoenix. London reports a Baker Street site plan for Sherlock Holmes lore postwar.
