We’re saddened to learn of the passing of Dianne Bret Harte a long time member. Her family came to Arizona during the Territory Period and she had Hispanic roots. She served as the Executive Director of the Southwestern Foundation for Education and Historic Preservation from 1997-2016. For her stellar work in the field of Preservation she was recognized by the Pima County Historical Commission in May 2016. In addition she and Tom Sheridan served as honorary co-chairs of our 2016 Gala.
We extend condolences to all family members and friends. QEPD ❤️🌺❤️🌺
