My grandfather from my dad's side was part of a Presidential cabinet way back in the 40's...Lazaro Cardenas was the Mexican president that nationalized the oil industry and distributed the rich lands of Mexico among the poor and the workers, by seized it away from the ultrarich and giving it to the people. Real cool! My grandfather was a lawyer and part of the Secretariat that took the land from the landlords (latifundistas). he worked there alI his life.. I remember how the people will come to his house bearing modest gifts full of appreciation for giving them ownership to the lands they worked with their blood and tears...That was my grandfather...His life was honorable, modest and he never profited from his public work. His funeral was modest and attended by politicos and the people that he helped so much.. I was 13 yrs old when he passed away.
Cool guy, he used to call me Miss Smiles!!

I had a great uncle who piloted one of the few planes to get airborne during the Pearl Harbor attack. He was shot down and killed, just 20 years old. There is a small monument in the town square of his hometown, we visited there with my grandmother when I was very young.

My ancestors were part of the Kennedy clan from Boston who came to Texas and founded the town of New Boston, Texas. We had a hanging judge on one side, and a outlaw who was hung.

That story is cool, BTW. There are no horse thieves or rocket scientists in the family. Consequently, our reunions are not full of drama.
