Mayor Fiorello Enrico LaGuardia of New York City speaking from the Yavapai County Courthouse steps in Prescott, Arizona.
On September 14, 1938 Fiorello and his wife, Marie returned to Prescott after a trip in April 1935. This time they landed in Phoenix and were driven to Prescott by former Mayor Charles F. Robb (Fiorello's former classmate) and Grace Sparkes. A parade group consisting of dignitaries, the Prescott High School band, the Fire Department, ex-servicemen and school children met them at the south end of Prescott. The parade proceeded up Montezuma Street and ended at the north side of the courthouse for a welcoming ceremony. Fiorello gave a public address on the north steps of the courthouse. During this visit, he attended a breakfast with former classmates, spoke at St. Joseph’s Academy and visited the Whipple VA Cemetery. The highlight of the visit was the dedication of the highest point in the Granite Dells, named for his father, Achille. Although he promised to return in 1939 to participate in the dedication of a new high school project (now Mile High Middle School), Fiorello and his wife never returned.
