Dear Primos . . . February has quite a few Action Items that I suggest
you read carefully. The first two exclude us historically and
currently, very much to our detriment. I hope you will involve yourself
in whatever manner you can. Our presence and patriotism is needed.

I would like to dedicate this issue to Dr. Granville Hough. Without a
drop of Hispanic blood, yet Granville has dedicated a decade of time and
money to document the contributions of Spain during the American
Revolution. A graduate of West Point, Granville saw the Latino men who
served faithfully. It was to honor them that he has produced evidence
that Hispanics have been an integral part of the United States, even
before it became a nation. His final piece of research is in this
issue. Thank you Granville, with the deepest respect, from all of us.

Sincerely, Mimi
