Hey, David. Isn't photo 13 the buckboard Sra. Espinoza originally came down on with her family from Arizona? The one they used to have in the motel courtyard?

Did she tell you that she was born Italian? Honest - straight from her mouth!!

Sorry, I did not speak with Mama... the details you mention are documanted in the biographies written about her, yes.

Her family name is Grosso (Italian), and her brother (Arturo) owned Rancho Laguna Chapala.

If it isn't open, then walk across the highway to Mama Espinoza's and ask if it can be opened up for you... A small donation box is at the doorway.
