NEW FEATURE: I will begin to place here short video segments from my work in Mexico since 1998. The first one is a brief interview about old age. When you link to the site, scroll down the left menu to click on "arts and sciences," then underneath this, click on "anthropology." On the right, click on the appropriate kind of connection you have in your computer.                  www.netcast.usf.edu

Unfortunately, Jeronimo had died almost two years ago and the oldest son, Jose took over as head of the household along with his mother. In the future I will try to include some video taken during this trip.
