Comment on Biba St. Joseph by terry flores

Sandy thank you so much for sharing this story, I enjoyed it so much.Stories like this bring back memories of my childhood when my parents will take me and my siblings to the fiesta in Inarahan, light candles and pray in church.
It was always a special treat to visit the southern villages and still is. Living in the northern part of the island can be very hectic that is the complete opposite of what the southern villages has to offer.

Si yu’os ma’ase’

As always your stories never cease to bring memories of my childhood, pleasant memories that makes me want to go back and revisit the way it was growing up with such loving and caring family. I do so enjoy your stories and your art work.I’m sure there’ll be many other wonderful stories at the Cultural Fest, I can only imagine.

upon my family’s return to guam in 1972 after my fathers military air foce obligations i was sent to stay with two very strong chamorro women in grandmother “eya” and auntie nena ana afaisen turosik dad older sibling my chamorro culture being matrilineal in nature epitomizes the strength and wisdom these two strong chamorro women influences on me and the person i became after living with them for over twenty years of my life both were quite fluent in my native language and constantly spoke to me in chamorro and their broken english which i understood yet my feeble attempts of chamorro speaking had to be hilarious yet they persisted even teaching me the various chamorro cultural traditions and activities such as the concept of chenchule during a festive party and ika during a funeral grandma eya like her mother was a good suruhana and constantly made medicines for others never expecting money compensation saying that it is the will of god and should never be challenged unfortunately we lost grandma in 1981 auntie in 1998 i will forever be appreciative to these strong chamorro women in my life……………..

Comment on Own a piece of Guam History with Estorian Inalahan by Terri

Dear Dr. Flores:

In 1991/92, you were at Jeff’s Pirates Cove selling some of your art. I bought an original batik – a house with a deck – pink was predominant I believe. Do you still have any prints left for sale from that piece?
I gave it to a friend who passed away last month – we were both on Guam – and even though I didn’t inherit the original, I am thinking I would like to have its print. I also have The Chocolate House print and a street/house view of Inarajan (print). I would love to have an original again though. I miss Guam. I enjoyed my year there. My son was 7 that year. It holds nice memories for him, too. terri
