THE
WAY WE WERE — The above is a recently discovered
photo from 1986. Left to right are Kathy Brown, Culinary
Union Local 86 office manager; Miguel Contreras, Local
86 Secretary-Treasurer; Local 86 President Bill Uehlein;
a lady named Natalie (anyone who knows her last name,
please write),
and César Chávez. This item was first published
in Ahora, northern Nevada's Spanish-English weekly, on
March 26, 2008. (UPDATE: On 3-19-2009, President Obama paid
tribute to Brother Contreras when he spoke in the Los Angeles
building named after the late labor leader. See the 1986 Chávez
Reno archive, below.)
