Now I know:) Good the home is working smoothly again!<br /><br />I couldn't believe there was a school with the nickname of the Criminals. So I had to do some research. They really are the Criminals! Their high school was in the Territorial Prison in the early 1900's Until the town needed it for a jail. When they beat Phoenix Union HS in a football game, the angry fans called them criminals and the name stuck! They actual have old prison gates at the entrance to their football field. Their mascot is ugly! An interesting story!<br /><br />See you in a couple days!John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-16367267836603472082018-02-17T06:32:58.700-08:002018-02-17T06:32:58.700-08:00It was a joy to have you and Bill visit and of cou...It was a joy to have you and Bill visit and of course Ms. Tessa!!
