Interviews:

Interview with James Callan: You've settled in Tucson.  What brought you to and keeps you in Tucson?

 D.R.:  When I was living in Mexico, friends suggested I’d like Arizona because of the high Latino population and the great weather. They were right on both accounts. When I first arrived I had trouble finding a full-time job. I might have left to go somewhere else, but in the meantime, I worked my way into a mariachi group. That was so much fun that I decided to stay in Tucson. Soon after, I started graduate work at the University of Arizona.
