Happy New Year to everyone on NLA, and (if I'm right about the baby) happy 60th birthday to Louis! |
You are right about the name of the baby:Louis Torres Angulo was born on that date in Los Angeles, according to the birth index. His parents were Francisco Diaz Angulo and Leticia Rodriguez Torres. Online there is a picture of Louie at age 20 when he was attending East Los Angeles college. Unfortunately, he died in September of 1985.
