Jose Jesus Lopez Part 2

Hi Everyone, Another one in my continuing story of JJ Lopez. The school he attended in Los Angeles was called Suva's Escuela (school) Normal, I couldn't find any pictures of it, so I used the later new buildings. Of course, as I do these I learn more, for instance about the newer buildings becoming UCLA. In quoting the Saga of El Tejon book, you get to know JJ, and his personality. He had a good sense of humor, he makes me laugh with some of his comments. The author, Frank Latta, says JJ re-wrote the pages he had lost in the fire, we'll never know if he missed anything. This video shows that he was educated. Also, for those of you who have seen my El Pencilero video, JJ was also an El Pencilero. No wonder I'm so fascinated by him, we have pencils in common!! He was friends with several celebrities of his time, Gen. Beale, Mary Austin and Helen Hunt Jackson. Jackson's Ramona book was very popular in it's time. The town of Hemet, CA, does an annual play re-enactment of the story. A movie was also made of it with Loretta Young and Don Ameche in 1936. Jackson used Rancho Camulos in Ventura as the inspiration.

Another fascinating chapter of JJs life!!! His school years were very interesting!!! Amazing how his poor health due to weak lungs lead to him living in a tent out in the open!!!A perfect example of how the twists and turns of life can break you or take you down a totally different path where he learned about sheep and many other things to do with the outdoor life that he carefully documented!!!! A different but very inspiring story of resilience and adaptability!!!! Great narrating and presentation dear David!! Nice music in the background from Cristina!!! Lorraine👍🙏😊

Thank-You very much Mark from Cristina and I!! I think if it wasn't for his education he might not have been an El Pencilero and wrote his story. Lots more to come yet on him and his family! Have a good week!

Wow! This video provides such engaging information about JJ Lopez. His life was so interesting. It is good seeing how California's history evolved in parallel with his life to reveal all of these wonderful locations and intriguing architectural structures. You did a great job in creating another brilliant video, David. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dave49erman]

Thank-You very much Betty!! It's very cool that JJ wrote all this info about my local area. Most of my vacations were driving up north and passing thru the area where JJ worked - The Tejon! Have a nice day!!

I always thought that it was more women who wrote diaries, but good that men did that too, now we know a lot about his life.

[@zindoliveira]

Bom dia David Smith 🧸🫒🌷lindo tributo, homenegeando José luiz Lopez grande amigo

[@Dave49erman]

Thank-You very much Zindoliveira from Cristina and I! I'm glad you enjoyed my local history!! Enjoy your day!

[@FranciscaRigaud]

Fascinating once again. Do you know what it is funny, Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages and not too dissimilar cultures but we would never call a man Jesus. We do call women Maria, like myself too, but a man Jesus, no! Loved to hear you tell us this true story. It felt as if I was there!

[@Dave49erman]

Thank-You very much Francisca from Cristina and I! I think the Spain and Mexico dialects are different for Spanish, some of the words are different from the different states too. I speak some Spanish, that must make it easier to travel if the languages are similar. Jesus is pronounced using h Heysus, Thank-You for the compliment! 🙂
