Dear Friends and Primos . . . .
Many wonderful happenings promoting our heritage. I know you will enjoy
evidence that our history is being revealed in many forms: art,
articles, photos, theater, essays, plaques, reenactments, displays,
panels, etc. Somos Primos continues presenting a broad vision of who we
are . . . through the generous sharing of information by readers, like
you. Thank you . . .
Warmest regards, Mimi
