For Flagstaff Citizen of the Year Bobby Goitia, Flagstaff is synonymous with family.

His family first arrived in Flagstaff via his grandfather, who emigrated from the Basque region of Spain in 1918. His grandparents had eight children, most of which stayed in Flagstaff, including Goitia’s father. Goitia himself was born in Flagstaff in 1952 � he turned 70 this year � and has spent the last seven decades living, working and raising his family here.
