My favorite great Uncle shot himself in 1992 about this time. He was sick and did not want to be a burden on anyone and the landlord of a while kicked him out of the garage apartment he had within a stone's throw of Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. He was an extremely strange person so we got along very well. He had been my pen pal from 1975 through 1992. We exchanged letters every week even when I was in law school. NOTHING but a lot of pain to the family though when he took his life.
I detoured a lot on the way from Reno to Denver or from Denver to Reno through Tempe to see him in 1983-1984.
And my parents lived in Scottsdale, AZ from 1984 through 1986. And I summered a few years in Apache Junction which is 20 miles or so from Phoenix near the Superstition Mountains.
