Summary: | The museum will open its "Sandra Day O'[Connor]: A citizen for all seasons" exhibit Thursday. On Sunday, the former justice hosted what she coined a "mudslinging" party to celebrate the work it took to preserve her house. Mudslinging, O'Connor style, involved slathering a milk-and-mud concoction onto the house's exterior walls to seal the adobe. On Sunday, prior to dipping her hands and a paintbrush into the mixture and asking the crowd to join her, O'Connor spoke of the adobe's history, thanked those who helped preserve the house and expressed her hopes for Arizona's future. "I said, 'You can't. I mean - it's adobe; that's impossible,' " she told the crowd Sunday. |
