Reinaldo Garcia in Film Costumes & Festivals Directory

In 1928, the devoutly religious Mr. and Mrs. William Brannock journeyed from Ireland to Real de Catorce, Mexico, to seek their fortune in the silver mines of what is now a picturesque ghost town. While there, Mrs. Brannock had an affair with a Mr. Alfredo García, who had come from Spain to try his luck. Amidst scandal and retribution, my mother Wilma was born there in 1931, and due to the exigencies of Mexican law, she was born a Mexican citizen. Mr. and Mrs. Brannock promptly left Mexico, migrating to Arkansas, then to Missouri, and then, during the Dust Bowl disaster, to California, where Mr. Brannock got a wartime job with Bendix and was inducted into the Masonic Order. In time, my mother was naturalized, and is an American citizen. She married Julian García, whose grandfather Guillermo had come to California from Oregon around the turn of the century and who, in 1912, founded a plumbing company in Los Angeles.
