Colonel Kent Laughbaum / Davis-Monthan AFB - Jim Williams / Fox Tucson Theater - Peace Corps - Musician Howe Gelb by Robert Rappaport

June 6, 2008 edition of Arizona Spotlight, with host Mark McLemore.

After two years of duty, Colonel Kent Laughbaum is wrapping up his tenure as the commanding officer of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base . Christopher Conover talks to Col. Laughbaum about his career and his plans.

Mark McLemore speaks with Jim Williams, the new executive director of the Fox Tucson Theatre, about some upcoming events, and the movie palace's role in bringing new life to downtown.

The University of Arizona has the second largest Peace Corps Fellows program in the nation, with many Peace Corps volunteers returning to Tucson to share what they've learned. Kimberly Craft tells us why the experience has become known as "the golden ticket" for U of A graduates.

Tucsonan Howe Gelb has established a musical legend for himself and a large following, with the success of his band Giant Sand and years of dedicated solo work. Sooyeon Lee brings us a profile of Gelb and some of his music.
