Was visiting my primo Filo Velasco and he got a call to ask if he knew a Robert Velasco that writes stories about Pirtleville. He could not remember name and I asked no es to primo hijo de Paul and he said el Danny guess he did not know your real name. I googled your name and found your site and I see some of dad's old places. Look forward to reading your stories and will call Filo and set him straight.
Hi, Robert this is Juan Borquez, class of "66". I've visited some of these places also. I was in Palenque a few years ago and took some pictures also, but yours are a lot better. Thx for this wonderful pictures. JB.
I truly enjoyed your stories. I grew up in Douglas but spent a lot of time in Croco with Robert 'Rocky' Roqueni, Armando Munoz, Robert 'Moose' Ortiz and Rudy Ramirez. I write some myself. Personal experiences are the best. Short stories about dragging on the D-Hill road; CYO trips that turned good girls into naughty ones; first kisses; first dance; Keep writing about home. I love it that you do the bilingual thing. I do too.
