The Cochise College Center for Lifelong Learning’s virtual Brown Bag Series continues and is delivered via Zoom. The free presentations are held on Wednesdays from 12 – 1 p.m. MST. These offer attendees an opportunity to hear fascinating stories and learn about a wide array of topics. 

• “Arizona’s Scenic Roads and Hikes” – Wed., Feb. 3

Arizona’s Scenic Roads and Hikes points the way toward the very best the state has to offer. In this lecture, Roger Naylor features all 27 of Arizona’s state-designated scenic and historic roads, including the five National Scenic Byways, in addition to the locally owned places to eat and sleep. 

• “Fry Pioneer Cemetery: A Project Decades in the Making”- Wed., Feb. 17

Founded in 1919, the Fry Pioneer Cemetery is the final resting place of one of the area’s founding families, early settlers of Hispanic and Yaqui descent who labored in the area, and unidentified infants buried under cover of darkness. Many graves were unmarked in the general cemetery area outside of the family plot, leaving those laid to rest unrecognized. Join Elizabeth Wrozek as she recounts these early settlers’ history and the decades-long efforts to preserve and restore this significant historical resource.
