Wonder if Sid Webb was related to Del Webb? who built the Flamingo hotel for Bugsy Siegel

Company History

After moving from Fresno to Phoenix, Del Webb founded his namesake construction company in 1928. Among his earliest commissions were grocery store buildings for the Basha family. Webb soon became known as a grocery store builder. However Webb sought to expand his firm and eagerly sought out public sector jobs during the Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1937 the firm opened a small branch office in Los Angeles to oversee construction of a high school there. With the onset of World War II the firm constructed several airfields throughout Arizona, as well as a Japanese internment camp at Poston (Poston War Relocation Center). In 1943 Webb made trusted employee L. C. Jacobson a 25 percent partner. Jacobson eventually became vice president. In 1946Webb was contracted by mobster Bugsy Siegel to build the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. In the early 1950s Webb would be contracted to build facilities for Howard Hughes. The Webb firm would go on to build several plants for Hughes. In 1952 the company founded its first subsidiary, the Del E. Webb Development Company, responsible for the design and construction of housing tracts and shopping centers. In 1953 the development company would begin construction on San Manuel, Arizona a mining town built out of nothing. In 1955 the Webb corporation began constructing hotels for the Flamingo Corporation, which Webb was part owner. The following year Webb constructed the first Hiway House Hotel, which was a company separate from Flamingo and solely owned by Webb. As well as housing, during the 1950s, the construction company would build hospitals hotels and other large and small scale projects.[2][3]

AZ senator Karen Fann is part of the "Family". This woman is mafia just like Cindy mccain. Look at her dads obituary. Operation Smile is Cindy mccain.The org called Mercy Ships sure makes me spidey senses tingle.

The family came to Prescott in the 60s to work for Uncle Sid Webb. Sid Webb owned a restaurant called the "Wagon Wheel" in Prescott. He owned a construction company and he was chief of the volunteer fire department. These people have had a monopoly on the construction business for over 50 years. I've no doubt I can find a connection to Del Webb if I dig long enough.
