ICON (NEWS) that appears on
the right side of our Main Page of our website.
Our approach and
style in sharing the NEWS!
On this 22nd day of May 2018…Happy Birthday papá Arturo. Dad arrived at St. Paul, Marion County, USA
in 1943. It was his arrival and the
marriage to --mi mama --Maria who inspired us to create our website. Dad was born in Asherton, Dimmit County,
Texas on May 22nd, 1912.
This section of our website
includes old news, as well as some contemporary news. Via my research of National Newspapers, I am
hopeful that I can find relevant and related stories that can supplement, confirm,
verify many of my own stories. It is almost
like a pen-pal approach. As you visit
this section "NEWS" you will find an opportunity for you to also
participate by posting your
comments/opinions or questions. Due to
"Father Time" it is not likely that you will find postings from people
who are 70+ years old" Yours truly
keeps active in this endeavor of research and saving our history as remembered
by people who use the 1st person singular; which means that a conventional
research format or style will not be
used.
TIMELINE FOR NEWS: All
relevant news reports that I can find prior to 1968 will be included; why 1968?
well, it is because Lidia my future wife found me working on my car…always
under the hood; thank you Lidia! We both support and work on this project that
has turned out to be a lifetime endeavor.
Our house is wall to ceiling … paper work and AV that is dated
and important to us. YES in 1968, we got married!...and I still
work on cars; it is my hobby!
Here is a link or an example of
the format that you can expect. We have
placed the ICON and the stories under this heading to give credit to the
authors/newspapers; their effort was
dated when it was published. Our
contribution to this effort is to expand on the story, this is also dated. Keep
in mind that we use a little bit of Spanglish-Tex-Mex. The fact that we have lived in Oregon since
1952, which is about the time that Oregon had a Migrant Population explosion, gives Lidia and Miguel a VANTAGE POINT. We regard this to be a blessing and we are
honored to share the Newspaper Stories along with how Miguel and Lidia view the
subject then and now. Using our
independent oral-history research and the vast
A/V material we have collected, we offer a unique point of view. We are independent and have no ties to
political groups, clubs, agencies or organizations to guide and/or influence
our work. Admittedly, we wish there were
more people interested in oral history and/or simply writers of Mexican Roots, who
could share their experiences/views and not always rely on the general
MEDIA.
A LABOR OF LOVE AND IN PROGRESS
Through our visitors, we can improve our website and bring more clarity
and content to an important arm of US History…."LA VIDA MIGRANTE." Please use the contact page and let us know
how we can improve our efforts. conAMISTAD Miguel y Lidia Owners of www.texmexorusa.org … where its
"OK" to use a bit of SPANGLISH!
Un nuevo estilo para compartir las noticias de ayer!

Le deseo hoy
a papa Arturo "Feliz Día" Mi
papa nació el 22 de Mayo de 1912. Los
datos indican que fue el primer Tejano de llegar al pueblo de St. Paul, Marion
County, USA en 1943. "Your dad and I arrived to St.
Paul the same year" recuerda Elaine Smith, quien todavia vive en St.
Paul. Siendo el
único Tejano con una personalidad fácil de recordar…gente de 90 años para
arriba lo recuerdan. Gracias Elaine por
tus contribuciones!
Miguel y Lidia
Es un honor
como los primeros Mejicanos graduantes en 1966--Miguel de Gervais y Lidia de
Woodburn. Aun es un honor tambien
tratamos el portal de información como una responsabilidad.
www.texmexorusa.org
El nuevo estilo de compartir con ustedes…incluye el
uso de los periódicos que presentan un punto de vista. Es nuestra tarea de añadir a la historia con
datos que nosotros sabemos. Los datos
pueden complementar el articulo u tener
un debate amistoso, consta que nosotros lo vemos de un punto Tex-Mex de
multi-dimensiones.
Hemos
incluido unos links para que vean el contraste y formen una mejor idea de lo
que pasaba en una ERA diferente a la de hoy.
Los temas varean y la mayoría fueron publicados antes del 1968; este año
es SIGNO del fin del camino.."Pioneros de Oregon."
NUESTRA LABOR LA ACEPTAMOS COMO UN HONOR
Al momento
nosotros somos la única fuerza independiente en el tema de "La Vida
Migrante en Oregon."
MANTENIENDO BUEN TRABAJO
Nada es
perfecto u final; podemos crecer y mejorar nuestro esfuerzo con su amable
asistencia. Favor de usa la Pagina de Contacto
para considerar los puntos que usted guste someter. Como autores nosotros le brindaremos nuestro

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA
ARTURO 5.22.2018
My dad spent his last
days at our home; the room where he slept is a few feet from my computer…this
is a special MOMENT.
Arturo was my
step-father. I first met my dad at the
Hotel Janeiro in Guadalajara, Jalisco Mejico.
He brought me to Oregon in the same year-1952.
