"Juan" informed me today, via Instant Messaging, that he and Jennifer are expecting a girl and boy. I'm so exited for them. We talked about their potential names. At the top of the hypothetical list was Jack and Jill or Julius and Ethel (Rosenberg) . We also received a book from him yesterday that was published out of his Ethnic Studies Program at San Francisco State. He was the Editor in Chief as well as a contributor of it. It was very professional. It brought back memories of College. Yo soy... Chicano.
