Yes he died 75 years ago, but that doesn't mean that a certain 6 yr. old boy can't be totally and completely enthralled with his death!
From the PHX Zoo, you can see Governor Hunt's tomb up on a hill in Papago Park. They point this out on the train tour at the zoo. As soon as I heard them mention it and saw B's little head snap around and his eyes fixate on this mini-pyramid, I knew we were in trouble.
The rest of the day I was bombarded with questions about Governor Hunt and why in the world is he buried under a mini-pyramid. When we got home, we looked him up on Wikipedia and learned all about Governor Hunt, his 7 non-consecutive terms as Arizona Governor, and his apparent obsession with Egypt.
The next morning, the boys were playing with Moon Sand. And this was B's creation:
That my friends, is Moon Sand Governor Hunt, buried underneath his Moon Sand Pyramid.
RIP Governor Hunt, you may have died 75 years ago but you will never be forgotten.
