AND NOW, A WORD FROM THE HERALD'S BYGONE ERA

(Ed.'s Note: Remember when the Brownsville Herald used to be part of the pulse of this city? In those days, the Don Pedro annual holiday pachanga was not to be missed. The politicians that were roasted in its news columns on a daily basis and the newspaper's reportorial staff (it actually had one) rubbed elbows over  cold one in the long-gone Friendship Gardens. We can identify a couple of the actors above starting with then-Mayor Nacho Garza in the middle, Evelon Dale with her Good Neighbor Settlement House, dapper reporter Basilio (Hernandez), but the rest of the characters above escape us. After all, this was way back when in 1988. Can any of our four readers help us out to identify them and the organizations they were associated with? Anton, the best cartoonist the Herald has ever had, drew this for the party.)
