Fifty busy years after high school began with 3 years at the U.
of A, with a Nursing major. Stuart and I married in 1961. We
moved to Austin, TX, where Stu was Air Force Vehicle
Maintenance Officer, mostly at LBJ's Ranch. We then lived in
Germany for 3 years.
In 1968 Stu began managing family owned Willows Ranch,
40 miles east of Kingman. With no electricity, phone or school
bus service, our 3 kids and I lived in Kingman. We spent non-
school time at the ranch.
I've held offices in the local, state and national women's
cattle organizations. I chaired the 1980 National Beef Cook-off,
(similar to the Pillsbury Bakeoff) working with "Good Morning
America" and celebrities, Julia Child and James Beard.
I served 5 terms as Kingman's first woman Mayor, City
Council 3 years. I was President of AZ League of Cities and
Towns; then 4 years as the Supervisor of the largest district in
the U. S. (Mohave County, Dist. 1, over 5,000 sq. mi.).
Gubernatorial appointments include: Governor's Council of
Arizona Women for Highway Safety, Arizona Water Resources
Advisory Board, Arizona Commerce and Economic
Development Commission, several terms each; Federal
appointment to the first AZ BLM Resource Advisory Board.
My accomplishments in those 17 years: Securing resources
for 100 year water supply for Kingman; NAFTA Trade Corridor
designation for US Highway 93 that justified building the new
"Pat Tillman" bridge over the Colorado River at Hoover/Boulder
Dam.
We sold the ranch in 1996. I "retired" as an elected official,
December, 2000. We've remodeled a "new to us house",
working with former CHS alum, Zeke Jarcik. He and Stu now do
small home repairs for Kingman home owners.
I am in my 6th year as a public school Kindergarten
Assistant, 25 hours/week. With morning and afternoon classes, I
help 22-25 kids per class.
We enjoy our family: Becky Hill and her daughter Ellen
(17), Margie and husband, Leif Joy and their daughter, Addie
(8) and J. D. and wife, Rachel, and their three children: Isabel,
(almost 10), Charlie (7) and Mason (4).
Honors I've received: "1997 Life Time Achievement Award"
from Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce; "Life Member of the
League of Arizona Cities and Towns"; and a very special one,
the Mohave Community College naming its Student Services
Building the "Stuart L. and Carol S. Anderson Student Services
Building", honoring Stu's 22 years on their Board of Governors,
my 17 years of political service, and our other community
service contributions. The best honor, 49 years married to my
partner, Stu Anderson, our 3 children and their families.
