Hi all . . . Hope you all enjoy a safe July 4th celebration.

If you happen to watch the Washington, D.C. parade July 4th, be sure and
look for the float of the Texas Connection to the American Revolution.
Jack Cowan and the TCARA members from Texas are being joined by Joseph
Puentes from North Carolina who will be pulling the float and
reenactors, Micheal Lozano and Hector Diaz from Maryland.

Thank all of you for the wonderful materials, fresh research, and
forwarded current events. If anyone has submitted an article for Somos
Primos and it has not been published within two months of when it was
sent, please send it along again. Sometimes in sorting mail and
submissions, articles get lost in the shuffle.

Thank you for your encouraging letters . . . you are all making a
difference in the general perception of who we are . . . we are more
than a stereotype, and that is coming out . . . little by little.

God bless, Mimi
