Tucson Rodeo 2009

Snow in Tucson

Llevo el periodismo en la sangre

Ignacio Vazquez Gastelum

Died in January 1986

Ignacio Vasquez, my dad’s father, used to be a journalist in Mexico. My grandmother handed me a brief case with his memories and pieces of writing. Now, I know that i have a little bit of my grandfather; I wish I could have met him.

I found a journal where he talks about his childhood in the Mexican Revolution in 1910-1920. He explains the struggles to survive the war and poverty, also the loss of his older brother who died in battle.

Wow! 53 years together
