Lester Floyd Quinn, affectionately known as "Letch," was a man whose life was dedicated to service and community development in the Globe-Miami area of Arizona. His legacy as a public servant is indelibly etched in the history of this region. By naming a portion of Arizona State Route 77 from Milepost 170.93 of Globe to Milepost 135 of Winkelman the "L. F. Quinn Memorial Highway," we can honor a man who profoundly impacted our community.

L. F. Quinn's contributions to the region were remarkable. He served diligently as a seven-time Gila County Supervisor, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to governance and the community's betterment. His leadership roles didn't end there. As the Gila County Undersheriff and an Arizona State Highway Commissioner, he championed law enforcement and infrastructure improvement, paving the way for enhanced safety and connectivity in the area.

Most notably, L. F. Quinn was directly responsible for the improvements made to this very section of State Route 77—work that was critical in bringing the roadway up to the standards necessary for maintenance and acceptance into the official Arizona State Route system. His vision and dedication helped integrate this vital corridor into the state’s highway network, improving transportation and access for generations to come.

His impact also extended beyond public office; as a Miami Miners baseball player and local business proprietor, he enriched the cultural and economic tapestry of the region.

The Globe-Miami community owes much of its growth and success to the groundwork laid by individuals like L. F. Quinn. By recognizing his contributions through this memorial highway, we extend our gratitude and ensure his legacy continues to inspire future generations. Transforming a section of Arizona State Route 77 into the L. F. Quinn Memorial Highway not only pays homage to his service but also serves as a daily reminder of the impact one dedicated individual can have on a community.
