content: The interview begins with Jose speaking about his life in Mexico and migrating to the United States, following his family who came as braceros. He speaks about getting job at Christian Brothers, and meeting the Robledos, Placido Garcia, and others in the community. Jose also discusses his experience with worker housing, organizing for the UFW, moving from CB to Sterling and Newton, and the local Mexican community at the time. The interview then moves on to Hugo who speaks about life in St. Helena: going to school, work, and college. Jose and Hugo both share about their experiences buying land for the vineyard and making the cave for the winery.
