Barbara Stockwell’s 50 Years in Arivaca

July 1, 2007

It would be hard to imagine Arivaca without Barbara Stockwell. At least, I can’t. She first came here 50 years ago, on the Fourth of July 1957. Her parents, Bob and Mary Marshall, had come down to Arivaca to open a café. Barbara had just finished her freshman year at ASU in Tempe and came to visit them.

Although we did not agree on the virtues of the checkpoint, our common ground was that we all wanted to help secure the border and keep our neighborhoods safe.
