Although I may be giving things away here, if you are in Arizona (northern anyway, my knowledge of north is greater than of south), the following rules apply: Seligman is pronounced se-LIG-min, not SEL-ig-min. Prescott is invariably pronounces Press-Kit. I assume most of you know that Tucson is pronounced Too-sahn, not Tuk-sun. -Glenn
