I was a member of a group called the "Indian Guides" in the mid 1950's
at the Lighthouse YMCA. It was a father/son group where we were given
names like "Big and Little Eagle Feather". No girls were allowed.
(after all it was held at the Young Men's Christian Association)
I also learned to shoot during one of the summer programs at the
Lighthouse using real 22 cal. rifles.
Let's see either one of these activities being allowed by the people
who run Tucson today. I doubt if even the name YMCA would be allowed
My father built a lot of the locker room racks and gates for the
swimming pool facility.
