“I was born in Salt Creek in a chicken coop…next to Roselawn Road. My mom had me in a chicken coop… where chickens laid eggs, where the chickens live. She had her midwife there.”

“We were too old for Boy Scouts so, at that time, we gave it up. At that time was the lettuce strike, you know, the grape strikes started. So it got real active here in Pueblo, so we joined that… And, we, marched to Denver… we used to picket farms.”
Eloy and Ray Calderon Quote
“My dad had a tavern . . . on the corner of San Pedro and Roselawn . . . that used to be my Dad’s dance hall and bar. It used to be called the Oasis Café. When I started school, I was living there in 1935. They used to pick me up right there in front of the railroad. There was a railroad that went from Blende through Salt Creek and behind CF&I. Used to go to the zinc smelter over in Blende.”
