FAMILIA FAVILA VILLELA DE EL PASO, TX OCTOBER 1968

OUR FIRST FAMILY GROUP PHOTO WHEN WE LIVED IN THE NORTHEAST IN OUR FIRST HOME. MY BROTHER NANDO TOOK IT AS HE WAS DEPARTING TO THE COMBAT IN THE VIETNAM WAR IN NOVEMBER 1968- NOVEMBER 1969 HE WAS ATTENDING UTEP BEFORE HE WAS DRAFTED! HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED AND EXPECTING HIS FIRST CHILD BEFORE HE DEPARTED. WE WERE FULLY BLESSED TO HAVE OUR WHOLE FAMILY HEALTHY AND TOGETHER AND DOING QUITE WELL CONSIDERING THE HARDSHIPS OF IMMIGRATING OVER FROM TORREON, MEXICO! WE LEFT BEHIND OUR GRANDPARENTS, OUR UNCLES, OUR AUNTS AND OUR RELATIVES WAY TOO FAR FROM US. WE MISSED THEM ALL ALOT! THANK YOU GOD FOR OUR FAMILIA.
