Dear Ms. Vangie Huerta:
I would first like to pay my condolences to the death of your wonderful husband, Mr. Freddy Fender. I would like to share with the two times that I saw your husband in person. The first time was either 1974, 1975, or 1976 in San Carlos, California at a place called "The Circle Star Theater" where he was performing a live concert, I was only eight years and this was my first concert and I can still remember the wonderful way your husband sang. The second time, I saw him was in 1987 in Salinas, California at the California Rodeo where he was a special marshall to the event. I got to shake hands with him and meet with him up close, it was a wonderful experience. I reminded him about the first concert in the late 70's that I first saw him and he laughed because it was in his younger days. I then tried singing like him the song "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" and he said you better stop, you sound better than I do. I am glad that I had the chance to meet him and to say thank you for making my first real concert a blast. I would also like to say thank you to you Ms. Huerta.
