Sandy Paton W. Guthrie's Deportees: meaning? (57* d) RE: W. Guthrie's Deportees: meaning? 10 Jun 00


Someone, can't remember who, once told me that there was no "passenger list" on that plane that went down in Los Gatos Canyon. They had no list of the names of the people being deported; just herded them like cattle onto the plane. Imagine the families back in Mexico wondering why Juan and Rosalita never came home, or why they never wrote another letter.

Hope some of you saw the Chavez documentary on television (was it the Sundance channel?) a week or so ago, about the Farm Workers organization struggle, the grape boycott, etc. Caroline and I were singing at a rally for him once, when he arrived a little late. As he walked into the church and down the aisle, we were singing "Don't You Let Nobody Turn You 'Round!" For the last verse, he stood in front of us, clapping and singing along. A moment we'll never forget!

Sandy
