My abuelita, who was from Jerez, used to say "El que come y canta, loco se levanta." That was because when I would visit her and have breakfast with her, I would sing or hum and wiggle around on my seat. I remember asking my tia Carmen, what that meant. I realize now, as an adult, that I needed to have it explained to me, so I could process the information. I do recall "understanding" what my abuelita said. Marge:)

I have a concern and was hoping some of the more tech savy members of
the group could help me with. I don't know how to "save" the message
archives to another location short of opening each individual message
and copying and pasting them into another document. I don't want to do
that and would like to know if anyone has any ideas on how to save them
in a faster fluent procedure?

thanks,

joseph

Alicia,

I just stumbled upon it by accident.  I was searching for something 
else using Google and it came up in my search results.  Yes, I  
thought it was encouraging to know that something is being done to 
preserve our history.

Alberto,
 
See http://www.hispanicmagazine.com/2000/mar/Letters/ and http://
hugetinymistake.blogspot.com/ for comments on Ted Williams' parents.

See http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/illegit.htm and http://www.neta.com/
~1stbooks/disney.htm and http://www.guardian.co.uk/friday_review/story/
0,3605,608815,00.html for Walt Disney's parents. I am not sure the evidence is solid for 
Disney for him being Hispanic; he does have a good history for bigotry and alcoholism 
however.

Hola Ranchos members:

Check out this link:  http://www.adabi.org.mx/adabi.htm

This is a group in Mexico City that was formed to preserve the
Historical Archives and Libraries of Mexico.  Organizations are sent an
invitation to petition for project funding.  They are required to
complete the project or return the funds to Adabi.  The projects range
from $5,000 pesos to 12,500 pesos (that's
roughtly $500-$1,200 US) per
project.  One project in Durango was to scan, catalog and create a
database.  ADABI donated the scanner, the computer and a desk.  The
recipient committed to completing the project within 10 months.  They
show other projects where old maps have been restored, etc.

Maria

The information on Walt Disney I got from a magazine
that I once subscribed to called "Hispanic".  But I
never did check out their source.  

Also, the baseball player's name was Ted Williams.

Here is a link to a story by a reporter who paid a visit to Cuautla.

Leticia,

 

Up here in Washington State, in the Northwest US, there are about 320 Mexican restaurants that are owned and staffed by people from a little place in Mexico called Cuautla, Jalisco.  Are you familiar with Cuautla?  On the map, it looks like it is way out in the middle of nowhere southeast of Guadalajara. It looks like most of the people in that town came up here.
