Alfonso Olivas, our dad, as a youth. He played basketball for Academia Juarez Lobos. Academia Juarez is a prep academy in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

This is a neat shot. That's Alfonso on the right with his brother Epitacio on the left. Their parents settled in Chuichupa, Chihuahua, Mexico where they pursued ranching, farming and operated a small store. Growing up, our vacations in Mexico were full of horses, cows, chickens and countless cousins.

Alfonso at Christmas time the year before he passed away.
