Thoughts and Sentiments of Hebbronville
Description:... It has been my privilege to be much acquainted with the author of this book. Our friendship has been part of our lives. For years, destiny pushed us to different careers and kept us geographically apart, yet the relationship has never diminished.
We were also blessed with a similar curiosity to learn more of who we are. After retirement, these questions became more dominant. As time went on without even thinking of publishing, our observations were meant to be for family only. This happened at a time when we were miles apart; we never shared these urgings for writing our historical observations with each other.
Mr. Ramirez’s research on this issue started long before we had touched bases with each other. In the meantime, off and on, I was doing the same thing. We navigated the same waters but in different boats. As such, we never compared notes.
Later on he confided to me that he still did not feel prepared to share his knowledge with the rest of us. I disagreed! Finally, he started writing and revealing much of our historical data.
Our history is replete with toil, sacrifices, and glory; but his opinions are respected. The events narrated in this book add greater clarity to a beautiful past. Its contents are not only stimulating—they also make us proud.
