There is one we do have called the Beginning and we have posted it on youtube as well as on our Del Webb Sun Cities Museum website. It was done in 1962 and the spokesman on this one, Jack Douglas, was also in that video.

Here's the link to
Part One. and find
Part Two here.

And for anyone interested, here's the link to The Del Webb Sun Cities Museum.
Nice post thanks!

Phoenix history can be so elusive because of the style of city it is. We haven't really kept a lot of our older buildings. It's always nice to see things like this as even finding pictures that are clear of the old Phoenix can be elusive too.

My favorite part was the family digging for rocks in their matching outfits. You just don't see a mom, dad, and son all dressed alike these days!

Nothing seems more practical than digging soil in stark white pants! The 60s must've been an interesting time.
