In 1960, I was lucky enough to be born in Caldwell, Idaho. My family were migrant workers and the doctor at the local clinic advised my parents that, due to complications with my mother's pregnancy, it would be best not to risk to long trek home to Texas. Hence, I'm an Idahoan whereas all my siblings were born in Texas. My family lived in Pharr, Texas at the time. A lovely quiet town but limited in its options for a migrant worker. My father, Julio was a contractor. He would gather workers from the local area and bring them north to Idaho to work the fields and orchards. It was good honest work but it was a hard life.

The gift of being born in Idaho was a simple stepping stone to a better life, a better chance at accomplishing something valuable and sharable with our people.

Back then, there were signs that said no dogs or Mexicans allowed in the local bars and restaurants. My father helped pass legislation to get those signs removed. He left a legacy to our family to go out and make a difference in peoples’ lives.

This is my goal for you. A better life. A better chance to succeed. A better future for you family. And a better way to accomplish your goals.
