I went to High School in Val Verde County and learned that Villa raided that county while he was raiding the border. Go Wildcats!!!

understood.

FYI, i MET & ate tamales & enchiladas with Villa's youngest widow (he had at least 18 wives! BUSY fellow!), during the 1986 Texas Wagon Train.

at that time she owned a TEX-MEX restaurant in Lubbock. she passed away in 1993.

the walls in the restaurant were "papered" with pictures of Villa, her (dressed in beret,crossed ammo belts & cigar w/a "cut-down"model 97 shotgun! Senora Villa told me, "i was VERY good with the DYNAMITE & i threw MANY sticks of it into the houses of muchas army officers!") and Villa & her together (including one of them at their wedding in 1918).

warriors come in all sizes & BOTH genders. she told me that she weighed 84 pounds on her wedding day!
