              <text>My father, Domingo Ruiz, Sr., was 12 when in 1915 he walked completely alone &#13;
from San Luiz Potosi, Mexico, then a small village, and now the capital of a &#13;
state in Mexico by the same name, to San Antonio, Texas. The trip was dangerous &#13;
from many aspects: There was hardly any infrastructure to speak of at the time, &#13;
the area was full of bandits robbing the various mines in the region, and the &#13;
Mexican Revolution was in full force.  My father inadvertently went northeast, &#13;
instead of due north, and had to cross first the treacherous Panuco river that &#13;
traverses a deep tropical valley at the edge of the plateau on which the state &#13;
sits, and then the formidable Sierra Madre. He had no money on his journey, and &#13;
he knew no one in San Antonio when he arrived.   My father died in an automobile accident at a relatively young age, but not before leaving a family firmly established in this country. &#13;
