The Horse and all his pals

Here is the photo of Uncle John, Alfonso and their cousins Charlie and Albert Castro with horse and dogs.

How they might have looked

I wonder if this isn't how they might have looked?

The book is completed

Everyone knows that the book has been completed. All but a few have been delivered. I hope you are enjoying it. There have been some mistakes made which is to be expected with over 60 biographies and all the communication challenges. I hope everyone has read the foreword. It says there

"This book was not easy to complete, and in some respects it is incomplete by its very nature. If I have included any inaccuracies it has been due to communication problems on my part and not any effort to offend or misinform others. I recognize the responsibility of handling the life stories of people who are respected and loved and hope that I have been able to meet their expectations. I know that it is impossible to please everyone and so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Please accept this effort in the spirit with which it was produced."

I will be posting some interesting things here soon. Our cousin Stephanie has been doing

some colorization of photos for us. They are fantastic! I'll be putting them up here soon.

I hope all is well for you.

Who is this?

Now the question has been raised. Who is the woman with the cats?
Here is a comparison of a known photo of Adela and two photos of
an unidentified woman. Can you tell the difference? I think the
unidentified woman is in fact Julia Hartnell (Castr0). What do you
think? Which photo is which?

We miss them both a great deal.

Photo recovered from Pop's Photo album

This photo was in an album that Fred had. I stumbled on this photo in a photograph of the photo album page taken the day Fred shared it with Frank and Pete. Apparently the album was one belonging to his parents that he acquired after their dad's death. It contains pictures not seen for 40 years or more. He promised to make copies available later but time and circumstances did not allow for that. So here's the photo and the photo album page it was taken from.
