Photo: Barry Goldwater Memorial

Paradise Valley and Scottsdale are adjacent to each other.

Paradise Valley generally does not want parks in its small enclave, but the town did create a memorial to Barry Goldwater, the father of modern conservatism.

Barry Goldwater was a Paradise Valley resident and part of a pioneering Arizona family.

Today's photo is of the sign to the memorial, which is made of local rocks. Tomorrow I will show you a little more of this memorial.

I wonder what Barry Goldwater would think about the state of politics today. Whatever he would think, he would certainly say.

You got a nice warm color on this one.

There's a memorial to him? Strange indeed!

Nice idea using native rocks for the memorial. Whatever your politics he was an advocate for Arizona.

Ah, yes! I remember the man well. His life story is really quite interesting.
