Dear Friends and Primos:

Thank you for a great year of receiving your cuentos, interesting assortment of articles, tidbits,
news items, book reviews, etc. It has been a joy to share your thoughts and life experiences. It
appears that Somos Primos, in its 15th year as an online publications, is part of a public history
movement across the country which was started by social historians about 50 years ago. Public
history studies the experiences of every day people in the past. The importance of gathering Joe
and Jane Smith's history has now expanded to include an interest in Joe and Juana Garcia's
history. The Internet and World Wide Web is facilitating and expediting public history
gathering. You are part of the effort.
I intended Somos Primos to be a easy site for sharing our Latino heritage. You may not feel you
have a book to write, but you do have events which shaped you. Please write, share your unique
life memories, what you learned along the way. Write, to honor your ancestors. Write, for your
descendents to know you. Write, so Latinos will have a recognized presence in history. You
are special. You are you, and no one else has experienced being you.
I hope you all enjoyed observing Hispanic Heritage Month in some special activity or event. If
you attended or organized an event, please send photos and a paragraph or two, who, what,
when, where the event took place.
The fall holidays are here. Having just completed Halloween activities, in November we have the
opportunity to celebrate our Hispanic culture in Dia de los Muertos and our American culture in
Thanksgivings Day activities. We can also look forward to Christmas in December, and if a
Jewish line has been discovered, Chanukah too. Perhaps, past celebrations will trigger a
memory to share.
Through the yearly observations of these holidays, comes an awareness that physical life is
fleeting, there is an Almighty Heavenly Father, and the family unit is precious. Please feel
invited to send stories, thoughts and photos for the December issue.
Under Culture, I've included information about a Calaveras Poetry contest that I helped
organized 20 years ago. It is not too late to write a 2014 Calaveras, and if you do, please do send
it along. I wrote a Calavera for inclusion in the article.
God bless, Mimi
