Absolutely love this post and all these new discoveries you’re making! There’s so much fascinating depth and detail to the stories we’ve heard and been telling for decades. The Mexico chapter has typically been a brief one in the Opapa tale, but you’ve found out so much that makes it far more vivid, interesting, and important. Also, big thanks to Kathryn Trosper for all that she did, and for writing about it so beautifully!
