JOSE BUSTOS:  

MY LIFE BIOGRAPHY, UPDATE JUNE 4, 2010 HELLO CLASSMATES OF YEARS 1963 TO 1966, I'm updateing my Bio' this date, couple of classmates asked that I do so. Thus - here I go: I too would be hoping to connect with some old friends and classmates, Since I started this back in Sept 2008 but not seeing anyone that I truely would like to communicate with, Except some of my cousins, like Pete and Jesse (Juice) Ramos and of course my Infamous Uncle Carlos ( Chile) Bustos. Yes, he's family and anyone who knew my Uncle -; Well - you get the idea you poor souls. But really he is a good guy, just recently found out he retired from the Chicago Police force.

As I look back on that War event of my life: I can truely say that's where I really found my "inner peace" if I may put it that way. One would have to go through something like that event to understand how life is so precious or should be to all of us. All that traveling before coming home to settle down and getting married to a good woman. We had two sons, who are now gone and out on there own, married as well. They made us grandparents of 4, three boys, 1 girl. I'm still living in the Chicago area, in Alsip to be exact.
