Margo Newhouse has lived through 48 hot Southern Arizona summers. She is a retired special education teacher and elementary school librarian. When she isn’t busy with The Raging Grannies she keeps active with the International League for Peace and Freedom, political activism, her church social justice council and many hours in her church kitchen. For the past ten years she’s spent time planning, preparing and presenting heat preparedness workshops with a group from Physicians for Social Responsibility. Margo and her husband of 66 years have three grown children and five grandchildren.
