Superior is a small
historical copper mining town founded in 1882
located on the fringe of the Phoenix
metropolitan area and now on the path of
progress to become the next place to
be. Superior is home to my roots. Four
generations: one great grandmother, two
grandmothers, and two grandfathers are interred
in Superior. My Grandmother was born in Morenci,
Arizona. My Grandfather was born in San Miquel
Horticasitas, Sonora Mexico. My other
Grandfather was born in Madrid, Spain. My Mom
and I were born and raised in Superior. My Dad
in Jerome. I went to High School in Globe and
after the US Army, I went to work underground at
Magma Copper Company in Superior for one year
returning three summers in between school.
Someday my Dad, Mom and I will join other family
members in the Superior cemetery.
