Bill, we are still friends but we will have to agree to disagree. I knew when I was 12 that I was meant to be a social worker. I took all the Spanish classes I could and I was lucky to grow up in a Barrio in Tempe called La Victoria. Most of my friends were Barrio kids and I practiced my Spanish on them because at that time, in the mid 70's, all they taught in schools was Castellano, de Espana. That was almost useless for me.....I have been going to Rocky Point for 46 years. I remember when families of 10 or more, lived in railroad cars by 13th st and Benito Juarez.....Now, helping at the Community Center, I have seen Nuevo Penasco. People live in shacks built with cardboard, Ocotillo ribs, carpet, tarps, plastic and pieces of plywood. They pee in a bucket, for God's sake.....They don't have any money. They couldn't buy anything from a vendor....As Mark said, what little I can bring is a blessing because they don't have 2 pesos to rub together......I will continue to hold my little corner up and trust in God that the needy get what little I bring..........OK, I'm off my soapbox......
