Chavez was against Illegal Immigration.

Too much Competition for the Union Workers he represented.

My F-I-L worked for the big CA Growers. He knew Chavez personally, even went to his House for Barbecue.

They obviously disagreed on Business since they sat on opposite sides of the Bargaining Table, but they respected each other. They were both Ex Navy, so that may have been part of it.

Thanks for sharing that. We can imagine what Chavez would be saying today.

Thanks DiogenesLamp, I had not yet begun to ping. The prelims to this expedition, as well as interesting topics about John Paul Jones (possibly the only famous mover and shaker of the Revolutionary period of whom a photo exists) are linked in the keywords.

There have been several Bonhomme Richards. There was an Essex Class Carrier that served from WWII to Vietnam. The current Bonhomme Richard is an amphibious assault ship. https://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/lhd6/Pages/default.aspx
