Randy, did you see this pic. I posted on page 237?


The Vato's from El Hoyo Simons, old buddys of mine,
David and Albert....1950

yes I did Frank. Those are old school pachucos. I meant to respond to it but got sidetracked. Cool photo. The clothes were often referred to as drapes, right?

These two guys lived where I did in Simons (Montebello) Daivd's sister was my girlfriend...c..1951,
Albert was called "Mara" because he came from Maravilla.

Yeah, the suits were called drapes

That was a great story. An observation if I may. Roger you are a man with a big heart and it comes thorough in the things that you write. I'm glad I met you. By the way, Huizar is my wife's maiden name.

Ignacio Huizar was the big promoter in Tj for years. I think his son is the promoter now. Rog

That was taken in Colonia Obrera in Tj. Couldn't afford to live anywhere else. Took these three down to the Mexican TV station. Asked the manager if he had heard of the Little Rascals. He threw me out.

Mexico is full of little guys like this. They juggle balls when you cross back in line . They sing on the city buses,shine shoes,and dance on the street corners.They still sell Chiclets. All trying to make some money.

There are others that steal,get hooked on drugs and alcohol. Some are in and out of jail all their lives. Many are murdered. In Mexico City, some just disappear.
