Charley: Thank you for allowing me to read the manuscript for your book. I find it one of them you cant put down until you’ve finished it. Having grown up in the same time frame, and experiencing the same working conditions, and being made to feel like an outsider, left a scar that has yet to heal. I have managed to leave that all behind as the love we shared within our family tree helped soothe the name calling. We were poor, yet we were rich and remain to this day in what we endured and shared in those early days. I would not change any of it except perhaps the load our parents carried. They instilled in us a sold work ethic and the desire to better ourselves, since this was their main objective. It is a testament to them that all their children went on to life outside the cycle of migrant field hands. Your book will take us back in time and relive the days of our youth, and for others give them a glimpse of time gone by. In His Love, Lloyd Medina
