      Dear Dr. Samora:

      In your website a mention of the “Railroad Bracero Program of World War II” was made.

      If you wish to interview a bracero for a future project, allow me to offer you the history of my father. He is currently 87-years old and has always enjoyed telling others of his adventures while a contract laborer for the U.S. Southern Pacific Railroad in California during the war years.

      In the event you wish to contact me, you may do so at the following: silveria.ballaron@sbcglobal.net or (224) 330-7931

      Sinceramente,

      Silveria Arrizon-Ballaron

      I know of some people in the San Luis Valley area whose surname is ‘Samora’ and they claim to be related to Julian Samora. All I know is that they live in Monte Vista, Colorado and their mother’s name was known as Star Samora and her sister’s name is Mabel Chacon. I know of only one of Star’s children with the name Samora….Anna Lee Samora Quintana.
      Are these people related to the Julian Samora family?

      I don’t know if these people are relatives of Julian Samora or not. If you can send me contact information I would be very happy to ask them. A phone number or email would be most welcome. I know that Julian had a half-brother and a half-sister with the last name of Harris. I also know that Julian had two aunts and one uncle. The aunts used their married names and I am in touch with those relatives. The uncle had no children. It is possible that the people you mention are related more distantly through Julian’s grandfather.
      Thank you,
      Carmen Samora
