My name is DeeDee Schroeder. I’ve been a part-time resident to the Prescott area since 1970. My husband Clay and I moved to Prescott permanently in 2002 after being outsourced from out Computer programming jobs at American Express. It was actually the best thing for both of us. We had been in the high stress environment of Computer for close to 40 years and saw Phoenix grow from a nice sleepy town to what it is today.
Prescott had been our getaway for most of this time and we loved it very much. We quickly found out that places change when you live there fulltime. What once was a place to play, jog, hike and just have a good time became a place where one had to make a living.
