If you knew Senator AV Bill Hardt or his wife Athia, please read this note and consider writting a letter to the Highway Department to support renaming SR188 Globe to Roosevelt to The Beeline Highway to Senator Hardt Road. If you're not old enough to remember Bill and Athia Hardt at the Unique Sporting Goods, ask an older family member or friend about them.

"The Gila County Board of Supervisors is seeking to rename State Route 188 the stretch of highway from US 60 to SR 87, to Senator Hardt Highway to honor the late A.V. "Bill" Hardt.
Senator A.V. "Bill" Hardt, better known as "Mr. Rural Arizona" served longer in the Arizona State Senate than any other legislator and during that time, represented portions of seven counties.
Senator Hardt retired from his District 4 seat in 1996 at the age of 89 completing his 30th year in the Arizona Legislature. 28 of those years in the Senate and 2 years in the House of Representative.
In 1994, Senator Hardt was inducted into the Arizona Democratic Hall of Fame and was honored by the University of Arizona's establishment of a Community and Rural Development Endowment in his name.
Senator Hardt was always a champion for and a staunch supporter of the Arizona Department of Transportation. Through his legislative support of that agency, many state highway projects were enhanced.
This Board, on behalf of the residents of Gila County and many others in District 4, respectfully requests your support of the renaming of SR 188 honoring Senator Hardt by a recommendation of the Geographic and Historic Names Board to the Arizona State Transportation Board.
Send letters in support of the renaming to: Linda Strock Geographic and Historic Names Board, 1700 W. Washington St., Ste 200, Phoenix, Arizona 85007."

MY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, JO (HARDT) FOTI
