http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2012/spapr12/spapr12.htm Dear Primos and Friends . . .
Again, lots of thoughtful articles written and a great variety submitted by readers. This issue is the largest ever, so do allow the issue to fully upload before moving around in the issue.
Featured in April is information on the Tejano Memorial, a beautiful collection of very large sculptures honoring the early colonization of Texas by the Spanish, being unveiled this weekend. The figures are placed on the grounds of the Texas State Capitol. . . . a truly historic happening.
Of special interest too is Boomtown (OIL) U.S.A. with construction job opportunities in North Dakota. The article was in the AARP magazine, with a statement that indicated "Seniors have been among the big winners in the booming job market." Apparently little experience is needed.
Please feel personally invited to share items of interest with your primos.
God Bless America, Mimi
