Esteban Villa and the RCAF


By MariaCortez - Posted on 30 July 2006

Hello Hope,

I am familiar with Esteban Villa's work and most of the RCAF artists. Back
in the late 70's I used to drop in their shop at the old Holy Angels
Elementary school. My cousin, Louie Gonzalez, is one of the original
members. If you follow the RCAF link, from the website you sent, you'll
see Louie and Esteban in the same picture. Talk about a small world.

Do you live in the Sacramento area? If so, you might be interested in
attending our next Nor Cal genealogy meeting. We met yesterday for the
third time, and it turned out to be the best meeting ever. We were supposed
to meet from 11 am to 2 pm, but ended up staying until 4 pm. Our next
meeting will probably be a trip to one of the libraries containing a large
collection of Hispanic Research materials. Such as, Sutro or UC Berkley
library.
