Discussion topics: Life in Albuquerque, Las Vegas, school, work. Her first job was housekeeping for 2 pesos per week. Her father was 20 years older than her mother. She was a teacher in Ojito Frío. Rosa left Las Vegas and moved to Albuquerque in 1910 and married three times. Her last husband, an Irish man was very jealous and she ended up sending him to jail for domestic violence. Most of her father's writings; music and poems, ended up in the hands of other people. She could not recover them. She just kept some letters.  Her father was a self learner and used to write wonderful letters.
