Mayor Fiorello Enrico LaGuardia (right) of New York City with Mayor Charles F. Robb of Prescott during LaGuardia's Arizona trip in April 1935.
In April 1935 LaGuardia and his wife, Marie, visited Prescott. They landed in Winslow on April 17 and spent several days resting and sightseeing at the Grand Canyon. They planned to fly to Prescott from Winslow, but early on April 20 a caravan of vehicles led by Prescott Mayor Charles F. Robb (Fiorello’s former schoolmate) departed for the Grand Canyon to pick up the LaGuardias. The welcoming party included Grace M. Sparkes, Prescott Chamber of Commerce Secretary. Returning through scenic Oak Creek Canyon and the Granite Dells, they arrived in Prescott the same day. They saw movie, attended Easter service at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, ate at The Palace Saloon, visited Fort Whipple (then Whipple VA Hospital) and met former schoolmates. On April 22 he and his wife were driven back to Winslow to return to New York City by plane.
CHARLES ROBB (b. 1888 - d. September 10, 1972) was born in Ames, Iowa, and lived for a time in Chicago. He served as an Army Intelligence Officer during World War I. Later moving to Prescott, he served as Mayor from 1933-1937.
