Show INTERVIEW: Senor Santos Cabrerra Page 18 }lC: education. He couldn't read or write. Someone else had to order and make out all his reports for him. SC: This fellow did them for me at first and then--then found someone else to do them for me. Yes, I worked for many years on the railroad, but now that's all ending. Yes, it's all ending. I'd even forgot about that. MC : Yes, he was a foreman and now he can't even remember. But since they didn't have a man for the job and he knew the work, he got the job, and someone else made the reports. He told me every man who was absent from work, they would just put a line through his name. The man didn't work today, cross out his name. SC: This Mr. Cordova, the father of the Cordova who has the store now, he worked with Pino and when Pino died, I guess he signed everything to --to him--money, store,--everything that he had. But the father of the younger Cordova was just like me, a poor man like me. He didn't have anything. He was --he was there working for Pinos for whatever wage, to be able to work for him. But I guess, because he trusted him, he signed everything to him--money, and the store, houses--because the house he lives in, is the one Pinos owned. The father at that time was just a young man. His wife is still alive. I guess that's what happened. Two of Pinos's sisters came to me for help to contest the will. But I told them I couldn't help them, and told them to go to a lawyer. I don't even know the law. I--I can't do anything. Get |
