Fernando tells his experiences at 19, marrying and finding a job and living quarters in post-Depression New York in the barrios, learning to become an x-ray technician, finding jobs dancing and good ballet classes, and of his daughter Laura’s birth, at a time that he and Alicia were meeting the dancers they would spend a decade working with.
