November 1998 Volume 2, Issue 14	A Magazine About Mexican-American Culture and Heritage in South Texas and Mexico
November 1998 Volume 2, Issue 14	This month’s main feature is on Catarino E. Garza, General de los Pronunciados. Don Catarino was a man ahead of his time. But he planted the seed for the overthrow of the Porfirio Diaz regime in Mexico. I would like to thank Carlos Perez, Catarino’s last surviving grandson for sharing one of his poems and a corrido with us. Besides from being a journalist, Catarino was also an accomplished poet. A truly intellectual person in that era. In our stories section, while talking to my aunt, Paulita V. Gonzalez about Catarino Garza, I found to my surprise that an uncle had been one of his pronunciados. That is why it is important to document old stories. I would like to thank my dad, Lino R. Vera, for sharing a list that he has kept since being inducted in the armed services in 1942. It is well worn so I decided to print it on this Veterans Day so the list will not be lost. Thanks to Nick Gonzales for finishing up his series on our Hispanic roots. What will be next, Nick? Read some great poems from some of our readers, Maria E. Garza’s poem on Thanksgiving and Inéz Treviño’s poem “Las olas del mar”. Also, thanks to José G. Garza for sharing the beautiful poem he wrote for his late wife. Check out our regular departments and please if you have a story or recipe that you would like to share with our readers, please don’t hesitate to mail it. As always, thanks to our faithful readers, subscribers, and our advertisers who make this publication possible. Hasta la próxima, Homero S. Vera
