I came to the US as a Graduate Student at the University of Illinois in 1960. I was only 26 years old. I came with a Student visa. Before the start of the Fall Semester at UI in Chicago, I visited New York City for the first time. I was at the top floor of the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center, Winter of 1959. Here's my photo taken at the Rockefeller Center with my first winter outfit in the US.
The third photo I treasured was taken at the University of Illinois Student Cafeteria with Fellow Filipino Graduate students and Research Assistants, Virgie Aguilar and Auring Aro. Virgie and I were in our laboratory coats enjoying our lunch break, 1963
Trip to Cancun, Mexico. Ditas and I enjoying the white beach at the back of the Royal Mayan Hotel where we stayed for one week., 1994
Last photo I will always tresure was our 1957 Wedding Day-May 8, Boac, Marinduque. Philippines
I have more than 500 hundred photos in my blogs and photo albums, but the above photos I will always remember. Pleasant Memories indeed of my younger years!
For Comparative Purposes here's my latest photo of our Zumba Group taken Feb 3. 2024
Am I still good Looking?
