The Chicago American, on June 11, 1967, did an article on my Dad (Lonnie Nelson); the article was called “Invent ‘Summer Sled’. I was hoping to see if I could get a copy of that article!
I’m looking for a story about the birth of Maria Leticia Guzman. Born Dec. 4th 1961. Her mother was Frances Hernadez Guzman. father Jesse Guzman.
When she was born she won something that gave her for years to come pictures, gifts. She said year after year people would come and take her pictures
up till she was 6 or 8 years old. Her parents have since pass away and she don’t known why that was happening to her. We’re trying to figure this out as to why and surprise her with the reasons why every year on her birthday this happen to her , maybe her mother had won something that made her first Birthdays more special than just a birthday. Thanks So much, William Kennedy
