Autorenporträt

Dr. Henry M. Ramirez came from California to work in Washington DC. He now lives with his beautiful wife of 58 years in a small rural Maryland village where the deer roam undisciplined thru his ranchito. His favorite occupation now is writing, advising, and gardening. His favorite occupations are now landscaping and cultivating tomatoes, chiles, cilantro, onions, etc. for his well known Mexican Salsa. His children, now grandparents, and his grandchildren and their friends find his salsa with a cool one and chips to be an excellent and satisfying "bienvenido." Trouble is that the deer also are addicted to the ingredients of his salsa inclusive of tender chiles. In his formative years 1935-1943 Henry listened to the refugees of the atrocities of the Mexican Revolution 1913-1930 at Sacred Heart Church in Pomona, California. These former illiterate and landless peasants, then enjoying the fruits of the land of the free, recalled with frequent repetitions the stories of life under the revolution and echoed the names of the revolutionaries they had heard. His BA in Philosophy revealed sectarian ideologues of Europe as the cause of the Mexican Diaspora of the young Mexican families who started the barrios. In the Pomona Valley, he grew up in a Mexican Catholic barrio. In Washington DC, he worked in a European Protestant world that knew nothing about the two million Mexican refugees who had settled down in the Southwest and elsewhere.
