could see the roofs of houses flying around in it. It also picked up cars, wheeling them around in it. I had two friends that were picked up in their cars, one was set back down on its wheels and he could drive it back home, the other landed upside down and was sent scooting along the middle of a street six blocks from his home. We felt the shaking of the house and a big tree branch was ripped off. Sometime after that Carmen and I decided to go back to Mexico. We had stayed some fifteen years and it was time to come home.

Enfilaron todas las mesas en dos salones y empezaron a fluir los tequilas; trajeron mariachis y Carmen y yo nos pusimos a bailar.

One lady who responded to the ad found her dog on the way home from our house; she was happy and called us to tell us. So we now had a French Poodle that Carmen named Coco. He was fixed, but if there was a female dog in her season around the neighborhood, Coco was there. We got many complaints from the neighbors. He lost an eye in a fight with a cat, and some child threw a billiard ball to him and he lost two front teeth.

El Arq. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, diseñador del museo, había asignado, en secreto, a nuestro equipo re-diseñar la Sala Mexica, porque en su opinión, los diseños del Arq. Jorge Stepananco, quien estaba oficialmente asignado a esta tarea, no respetaban la monumentalidad de la sala. Jorge y su familia eran amigos nuestros, vivían en un piso abajo de nosotros en la Calle Thiers, en la Ciudad

We brought Coco with us to Mexico and he became the mascot around the campus of the Instituto
