Proud of My Niece

Yesterday we had a conmemoration for my late uncle General Rubén Uriza Castro ninety year old birthday. After one student from the General Rubén Uriza Castro Middle School in Huitzuco read his biography. We were all very proud of my mother's brother. My sister and I were there with our mother, the only surviving Uriza Castro of her family.

Also the surviving family of my uncle was there, with some of their own children. Nuria (below) is the fourteen year old daughter of Raúl Uriza Cerda, who used to be my kid cousin. Now he is a grown up dentist.

The organizer was my nephew Architect Ignacio Cárdenas Uriza.

We were in the Sport Complex General Rubén Uriza Castro in Huitzuco, Guerrero, his hometown.

This was the first such celebration of my uncle's birthday, sponsored by Mayor Isidro Miranda Madrid.

Uncle Rubén won the Gold Medal for Team Jumping in the XIV Olympic Games in London. This event ended August 14, 1948.
