Show OHI . Esperanzo y Gavino Aguayo s3:25 going, my Dad said, Gosh . My uncle o ut in Mexico said , hey he can come and live with us, there's no p r oblem. And my brother s ays, no, I'm going. That really. L Even at that late date, your father still felt-- GA Yeah, he still felt. Later on, I think he acepted it all right. But up until hen, I think he still had hopes, Iguess,you want to call it, that he was going to go bac. But like I say, I just don't know what he was going to do. He couldn't go farming. He was already too old. He was in his 40s. You know. L Interesting. About your mother .. How do you remember her growing up? GA I don't really. Im not really good at that. I know she took care ofus real good. that's about all I can say. I think we had a --good parents. I do. They probably gave us more leeway than most that we've seen. Like I say, •• EA They' weren't as hard. · (laughs) GA They gave us just about~everything they could afford. whatever they had, EA I can rememberlike for Christmas and that, in the whole little conununity, sometimes of our friends, we would be the only ones that would everget a christrnas present. Because our friends didn't get nothing like that. For the Sgh of May or the 16th of September, we'd get a new dress. Even if she had to make it, she'd make us one. Get it. My friends never got anything like that. |
