Some of that old world Spanish charm must have rubbed off on his nephew(s). Viva Uncle Joe. I find the stories of people who witnessed the rise of the last century to be absolutely fascinating. It's history coming alive. Hearing them tell their stories makes the youth that is still inside them come magically alive. I also find the stories of emigrants and immigrants to be very special also, no matter what time it is from, because moving permanently from the country you grew up in is never easy. Thank you for telling us about your Uncle Joe, Victor. Love, Amanda.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 Thank you for sharing Victor about your uncle Joe. You said he was a hobo at one time during the depression. That must be an interesting story in itself. How did he finally manage to give the hobo life. What profession did he enter? How many kids did he have? Let us know if you have the time Victor. Thanks again Harsha Victor Torrico [vtorrico] Wednesday, September 27, 2000 11:03 AM ; NondualitySalon ; ANetofJewels Uncle Joe Uncle Joe Mahiques died a couple of nights ago. Now there was an arising in consciousness. He was born 92 years ago in the province of Galicia in Spain and lived there for about nine years before emigrating to the US with his parents Pedro and Rosa Mahiques and his five brothers and sisters. Joe used to tell tales of old Mexico and Pancho Villa --- he was a spell-binding story teller and I can remember him going on for hours about his adventures. At one time during the great depression of the 1930s he used to be a hobo and hang out in the hobo jungles. He would tell of riding the rails and riding in empty boxcars and being chased by the railroad police. He loved to sing Spanish songs. He would have loved to have met you all because he loved people. He would have wanted a little of his story told. The world was richer because of him. So long uncle Joe --- I'll miss you lots. Victor // All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere.
