Joe Lewels Sr. - 1931

Joe Lewels a los 16 años (1931) fue destacado en una historia en el El Paso Post (más tarde, el Herald Post). Joe acababa de conseguir un trabajo como un joven de copia en el periódico cuando salió en la primera página. La habitación en la que vivía, por encima de un viejo hotel, se quemó. Joe llamó por la alarma de incendios y asistido a las mujeres y los niños a salir fuera de una ventana y cruzar por el tejado a otro edificio. El editor le pidió que escribiera la historia de portada para el día siguiente. Esto comenzó una larga carrera como quizás los primeros reporteros de origen mexicano-americano en los EE.UU.
