Arizona
Memories
Return to "the good ol' days" when Phoenix was a small town, when kids
swam in tree-lined canals, women's amateur softball was as popular as
today's Phoenix Suns, and Phoenix Union High School's annual pageant
Masque of the Yellow Moon rivaled anything Hollywood had to offer.
Narrated by long-time Arizona resident Pat McMahon, this program blends
old photographs, home movies and personal reminiscences to paint a picture
of simple pleasures and homemade entertainment. 30 minutes.

Arizona
Memories from the `50s
Americans have always seen the West as a land of opportunity -- the
place people went to reinvent themselves. In the 1950s, the Valley of
the Sun was transformed by young veterans, entrepreneurs and families
on the move who took a chance on a new lifestyle. The economic boom
that began with WWII launched a decade of change and growth that continues
until this day. This the story of the people who launched the boom years
and turned the desert into the valley of their dreams. 45 minutes.

Arizona Memories from
the `60s
Explosive growth was the hallmark of this dynamic decade in Arizona
and the Valley of the Sun. Developers used a variety of gimmicks to
market their new desert communities, the state got its first major
league sports franchise, and malls made shopping a recreational experience.
Teenagers found their fun at drive-in theaters and cruising Central
Avenue. Barry Goldwater ran for president, Arizona's Vonda Kay Van
Dyke was crowned Miss America and astronaut Frank Borman, a native
son, photographed the first Earth rise from Apollo 8. Channel 8 began
broadcasting from Arizona State University. Baltimore Jack, an amorous
gorilla, arrived on the Playboy jet for a rendezvous with Hazel,
the Phoenix Zoo's reigning playmate.
It was a time of innocence and optimism as America continued its
romance with the West . . . and Phoenix was the Sunbelt's rising star.
Viewers who are new to Arizona will gain insight into its recent past,
and long-time residents will enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Desert
Wildflowers
Some years, when nature has provided just the right amount of winter
rain, Arizona's Sonoran Desert comes alive with a dazzling display of
spring wildflowers. Camera crews traveled across the state by automobile,
on horseback and on foot to capture colorful expanses of poppies and
lupine and close-ups of the bold flowers of prickly pear, saguaro, cholla
and organ pipe cactus. This armchair tour offers a rare look at the
beauty and wonder of this stunning visual event. 30 minutes.

Hopi
Quilts
Since missionaries introduced the American craft of quilting to Hopi

villages. Now visit their homes on the remote Hopi reservation and discover
how Hopi artisans have adopted an American tradition and made it uniquely

Kolb Brothers: Grand Canyon Pioneers
Emery and Ellsworth Kolb were two of the luckiest, most industrious,
most intrepid brothers to ever set up shop in Arizona. They came from
Pittsburgh at the turn of the century and established a photography
business at the Grand Canyon that endured from 1903 until 1975. From
their studio, which began as a two-room shack clining precariously to
the Canyon rim, they photographed mule parties as they headed down the
Bright Angel Trail.
In 1911, the brothers made a grueling thousand-mile trip down the Colorado
River and brought back the first motion pictures of it the world had
ever seen. Their colorful adventures continued for the next two decades,
and all their stories made it onto the screen in their studio. Ellsworth
died in 1961 at age 83; Emery continued to run the business until his
death in 1975 at age 95. Today, the studio is protected by the National
Historic Register and the Kolb brothers' films and photos are still
displayed.
