Friends, Family and accomplishments of Fernando Alatorre...

The images where I knew the names in the photo's are indicated below the photo.  Any image that you would like to see larger can be clicked on.  Once you open an image if it does not fully open and you are using "Internet Explorer", place the mouse over the image without clicking, a small window will open in the bottom right corner of the image, click that, the image will open all the way.  If you recognize anyone in any of these photos please contact me or my Dad.  Thank you...

It's amazing to look at the accomplishments my Uncle Fernando was able to achieve at such a young age.  All this and what people thought of him is why I admire him.  He could have had so much more beyond all that he already had before he died.
