READER REMEMBERS JOE WALLACE GARCIA WAY BACK WHEN

(Ed.'s Note: following our post on the Fiesta del Sol, which kicks off the 80th Annual Charro Days fiesta in Brownsville, one of our eagle-eyed readers fished out a newspaper clipping that reported Garcia had been a Brownsville Independent School District candidate back in January 1971. At the time, the article stated that Garcia was only 24 when he declared his candidacy. Time has passed, indeed, but Garcia is still active supporting the community's annual celebration. If you see Joe, tell him we said hello!)
