I have been reading the blogs on La Red and would like to offer the following:

Can we guess how many children or teens in school have a mental conditionmarked primarily by sufficient disorganization of personality, mind and emotions?

What is it like to have post-traumatic stress disorder and not know it? You knowthat feeling of anger, animosity and guilt? Growing up, and throughout school,

Luke Hustle is frequently wondering, “What is wrong with me?” Aimlesslysearching for a solution to the guilt buried deep in his conscience he joins the

Army and does a tour in Vietnam. What does he want out of life? He constantlyday dreams and has flashbacks. Abusing alcohol he feels like the evil character in

the novel "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." What if he had gotten help as a youth? Afterhis military time, he works to rid his self of anger and alcoholism, performs a few

gallant acts, tries to hide his past, and tries to adapt to civilian life. Luke does notembrace romance well, asks for Divine intervention, and applies medical help to

provide an unexpected ending. There are acts of anxiety, military actions, sorrow, joy, alcoholism, P.T.S.D., some comical situations, education, and in the end

romance surfaces, as he searches for closure to his dilemma.

I would like to invite you to read my book, I WILL FI GHT NEVERMORE, as aneducation advocate, a Tejano, and disabled Veteran, I ask for your support. Gun

violence everywhere, younger and younger children shooting other children; lackof morals and mores, definitely need attention. My hope is that it may open school

doors for me to visit students, share some of my childhood problems with them and possibly make a difference in their lives.

Hug your children today, they need it and so do you. Between you and me, we

will change this world and make it a better place in which to live in. Can we agree

on that?

demonic elements that gave birth to his vicious anger and animosity? Adding to his

confusion was distinguishing between reality and imaginary.

Luke felt insecure and some depression. He started drinking in high school. His

weakness was his apprehension to brush off a domineering school girl friend andhis distraction was listening, reading, and watching news concerning the Vietnam

War.

Advice from a couple of priests, and his vow motivated him to change. After he isdischarged from the military he is warned that drinking is affecting his health. He

vows not to fight or drink anymore. Luke decides to travel to California with his

goal to change. There he does a fantastic job of warding off his craving for alcohol by becoming a roadie for an all-girl band handling the loading, unloading, and

setting up instruments. Luke accomplishes his vow and learns the definition of

“Love is in the air.” His fantasizes about courting the leader of the band. She is a beautiful girl. His crush with her becomes reality resulting in unexpectedsurprise. This book is dedicated to all Veterans and their families of the greatest

armed forces in the world. I ask for your support as a veteran and fellow Tejano.

Post Script: My first book is a true story about an early South Texas pioneer whodid not sport a whip or firearm but dealt with nefarious individuals with a firm

hand. This book was not superbly produced in the Philippines; however, it is the

story that counts and contains no impropieties. Lucas

Sofia’ Life by Lucas C. Jasso

This is a true story about one of the earliest settlers of McAllen, Texas located in

the lower part of South Texas known as the Rio Grande Valley. Lucas Jasso pays

tribute to the strong hands that nurtured him in his formative years. Those hands

belonged to a pioneer. They worked through major developments in Texan and

American history but never resorted to the frontier way of solving problems

through violence.

Sofia Gutierrez, Jasso’s great -grandmother, guided him with firm hands. The

discipline would serve him well in his adult life. She married a Rodriguez yet never

used her husband’s name because “he [did not] father her.” This proud woman

was a rock to many of her family and friends in problematic times. She was a

genuine heroine to many but never let it in the way of living. By choice, she lived a

hard life in the service of those who needed her. This, too, is the story of Jasso’s

lineage, a family that gave its sons and their strength to the creation of themodern American state.

This story describes the trials and tribulations of one of the many unknown Texas

heroines. There is great fear, sorrow, struggle, uncertainty, romance, history, and

joy. The story is about a woman named Sofia. She did not sport a pistol, crack a

whip, or handle a rope as a few frontier women did during the latter part of the

1800’s and early 1900’s when there was border banditry. It is a true story about a

woman with no education, who could not read or write. She had an accounting

system of using knots on a string and created a few Moms and Pop stores. The

story is told as seen through the eyes of baby boy up to his teenage years in the

military during the Viet Nam War when she passed away. Born in 1887 she lived

through the silent films to the talking motion pictures, Mexican Revolution, that

affected the Texas/Mexico border, the initiation of Social Security, the Gusher Age

which was the Texas oil boom, and the following wars: World war I, World war II,

along with the (Unterseeboot) U-boats which sank ships in the Gulf of Mexico and

patrol pretty close to the shores of South Texas, Korean conflict, and the Vietnam

conflict. She saw the invention of television. Sofia with her life experiences

weathered the great depression, which began with the crash of Wall Street of the

month of October 1929. She got to know of the prohibition era, which governed

the national ban on the sale, manufacture and transportation of alcohol, in place

from 1920 to 1933 mandated by the 18th amendment, civil rights movement,

cold war, arms race, and space race. She was always keeping up with the current

events by radio and television that affected American lives. As time passed she

got to witness the first man in space and the first man on the moon by watching

one modern marvel, which was the television. Sofia had no schooling but was

knowledgeable of the law.
