More on Bisbee

In his letter of Feb. 4, David Dunlap said he couldn’t see spending $497.01 on a trip to Bisbee, Ariz., which was the subject of a Weekend Escape by Lisa Marlowe (“Red-Rock Victorian,” Jan. 15). I can understand his comments--Bisbee is not bright lights and fancy hotels and couldn’t lure a young soldier from Ft. Huachuca for any amount. I, on the other hand, considered the cost reasonable. I left Bisbee 56 years ago, and I had a wonderful time reminiscing. I remember my childhood days at Franklin School (gone now) and then on to Central, which is now an art school. My father, forced to leave the mines at an early age, opened a restaurant-bar at the Gulch and you can find his name at the Bisbee Museum. I played in Central Park and ran down the hills and took shortcuts through the Copper Queen [Hotel] to get to the post office.
