We’re looking for native Tucsonans who were born close to Feb. 22-26 in 1984, 1959, 1934 and 1909.

Yep, like our assistant editor, I am on the hunt for some folks to feature in our upcoming anniversary issue. I’ve sent out e-mails and Facebook pleas–and now I’m turning to you, dear blog readers. (My grandfather was born in 1909, and I wish I could interview him for this piece, but he is at Holy Hope off Oracle, and was born in July.)

But some of you out there may have a grandfather born in 1909 and in February … and perhaps a few others out there have friends or family born in February in 1934, 1959, and 1984. Or maybe yourself were.

I just need four people (which I can treat for coffee during our interview). It’s all I seem to talk about, and as a result, if it weren’t for the holidays, my loved ones would probably avoid me if they could.

Help me out there, and e-mail me at mherreras@tucsonweekly.com.

  1. “We’re looking for native Tucsonans who were born close to Feb. 22-26 in 1984, 1959, 1934 and 1909.”

    It may be implicit, but these people you seek (esp the ’34 and ’09 cohort), need they be alive?

    And how close is close enough?

  2. Yes, Red Star, unfortunately I am not gifted in the ways of talking with the dead. If I was, I’m certain there are many people I could find floating around here and there – although photos could be an issue. I think as long as we get the dates close by a week or two, and who knows, we may even say within the month of February by next week 🙂

  3. Not to totally gross you out, kiddo, but word has it sex ads do the trick when it comes to alternative journalism…
    😉

  6. Jimmy – Red Star and I have a special relationship. I have no F’n clue who this blog-man is, but he’s cool, adds something to our dribble every once in a while – but hitting on me? Plus he always calls me kiddo… so I just can’t go there.
