Profile Information

About Me:: Born in Cali into a U.S.Marine Corp family.(Thats why i was born there-Dad stationed at Camp Pendleton). Dad born in Martinez Town, on the corner of Edith and Kinley, the house is still there on the NW corner. Mom born in Martinez Town on Page, the house is still there half way up the street on the N side. My one sibling,(Carlos), was born here in town on base. Back then the base was split-Sandia Army base and Kirtland AF base. I moved here in 1980,married in 1981 to a girl from Albany, NY...go figure. My most precious memories of my life are of spending Christmas time here in 'Burque in the early 60's with all my cousins, Aunts& Uncles and Grandparents. The water was softer and the food tasted better...go figure, but then ABQ. was a much smaller town then too. Friends in Cali. had to be reminded where Albuquerque was. Back then only Bugs Bunny knew where it was. I guess the secret is out...

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: The ever changing colors of the mountains and the evenings just before sunset.
