Judy, just for you I'll post a photo to suggest that your faith in me is semi justified. In other words I have been telling the truth. Front row, estreme left. I'll have another glass por favor.

Aha! Had to zoom in a bit, but now there remains NO doubt about your true ID amigo Real de Tayopa, or shall we call you by your real name,
Ambrose Bierce!

This explains how you seem to know a wee bit TOO much about certain people like Pancho Villa etc. Care to explain?

Er, um - you DO still look like that! I have seen your face amigo, you look like you always have.
PS I will be absent from class (offline) for a while, so if you don't see me posting nothing is wrong.

DON JOSE, I HAVE NOT EXPLORED THE USE OF THE BACKTRACKER. I DID, HOWEVER; POST THE PHOTOS ON THE POST THAT BROUGHT THAT SUBJECT UP. IT WAS MUCH EASIER.
JUDYH, BROUGHT UP A POINT OF INTEREST. WHICH SIDE OF THE BORDER WERE YOU PATROLLING?
THAT, BEING SAID, I HAVE A QUESTION THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER. IT WILL GIVE REST TO A STORY THAT WAS GIVEN TO EXPLAIN "WHY WERE THE U.S. TROOPS CALLED GREENGOS?" THE STORY THAT WAS RELATED TO ME WAS ABOUT A CO-WORKER'S GRANDMOTHER..... LET US KNOW IF YOU DO KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE NICKNAME, THEN I WILL TRY TO RETELL THE STORY, IF THERE IS ROOM FOR HIS STORY, WITHIN THE WALLS OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES.

Senor Marius, I have no specific interests here, other than to enjoy and explore the country…….part of which, for me, requires understanding the history…….
You never know what you can run across in your travels………for me, the land, people, climate, food and experiences are treasure enough………
There is much of history that is unknown or incorrect…….and we need to keep our eyes open, minds engaged, and you never know what you will learn and find…….
Vaya con Dios mi amigo

I'M GOING TO POST THE STORY THAT MY COWORKER TOLD ME ABOUT THE TITLE "GREENGOS". THIS IS IN NO WAY DEROGATORY TO ANYONE. AT LEAST, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE.
MY FRIEND AND COWORKER, I WILL REFER TO HIM AS TONY, TOLD ME SEVERAL YEARS AGO, A STORY THAT HIS GRANDMOTHER HAD TOLD HIM WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. TONY'S MOTHER AND FATHER WERE BOTH BORN IN MEXICO, AS WERE HIS GRANDPARENTS. TONY WAS BORN IN CALIFORNIA. SO HIS POINT OF VIEW ABOUT THIS STORY SEEMS TO BE CLEAR AND UNBIASED.
IN THE LATE 1840s, A YOUNG BOY LIVING IN A BORDER TOWN THAT WAS DISPUTED AS TO WHICH NATION WAS TO BE THEIR GOVERNING BODY, THE BOY WAS OUT PLAYING NEAR A DRY WASH WHEN HE HEARD THE SOUND OF MANY FEET MARCHING DOWN THE WASH, KEEPING TIME TO A SONG THAT THEY WERE SINGING. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SONG, OTHER THAN THE THE TITLE.
THE SONG WAS "GREEN GROW THE LILACS", THE BOY LOOKED OVER A RIDGE AND SAW AMERICAN TROOPS, MARCHING TOWARD THE VILLAGE. HE RAN TO THE VILLAGE, AND OUT OF BREATH FROM THE RUN, HE YELLED TO THE PEOPLE "GREENGROWS, GREENGROWS!!"
IT APPEARS THAT THE NAME STUCK AND TRANSFORMED TO "GREENGOS".
TONY TOLD ME THAT HIS GRANDMOTHER LIVED IN THE VILLAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TEND TO BELIEVE HIM, AS NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE NAME.
DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF ANOTHER STORY OR HEARD OF THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE?
