BLAST FROM THE PAST: CHARRO DAYS GALS 72 YEARS AGO

(Ed.'s Note: Traces of Texas Brownsville reader Sylvia Escamilla sent in this snapshot taken in 1946  of her mom, Raquel Trevino (Later Raquel Escamilla), and friend Ofelia de los Santos dressed up for Charro Days. We were sent it by one of our readers upstate who used to live in Brownsville. It's hard to imagine that the photo was taken 72 years ago with Charro Days just around the bend. What a wonderful shot. Thank you!)
