As a child I remember traveling with our mother (Zoila Montalvo)To San Benito, Texas to visit her brothers /family. Back then there were plenty of cousins around the same age group to hang out, and they were all into baseball. The highlight of the trip for me was to go by Montalvo Lumber company and visit uncle Fred, Benny And Foster they always gave us from 10 -25 cents each just for coming by to say hello. Boy! back then that would pay for a movie, a hot dog, and a soft drink, or five RASPAS "snow cone" at Lola's candy store located downtown close to our grandparents house. By mowing the lawn for extra money at uncle Fred's house we would earn a dollar which made us rich back then. Not to mention the extra bonus aunt Lucy would give us by take all of us to the drive-in, including Martin, uncle Fred's right hand. Uncle Benny was always around making us laugh with his great sense of humor. Thank you uncle Benny for those wonderful memories. You will always be my number one uncle!
