Although very small, was taken to lie in some border cities of the state of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Guerrero (now under water Falcon Dam), The War, Reynosa and Matamoros, Tamaulipas. "In 1997 I have 75 years, but I still get the" birth "to any of ... 90, ... As there is no ... won by default ..!". Speaking with great affection for his hometown, says that this was the last capital of Greece, but as it does the great catastrophe that separated the worlds with seas between, where the Colossus of Rhodes shot and the Parthenon broke, plunging into the sea, in Athens are the remains of the Parthenon ...

Our character started in the forties on the radio and had earlier been a student of medicine, race is not over. Later accounting, which have been titled yet, never served as their interests led him into journalism (newspaper El Porvenir de Monterrey, Nuevo León) and radio subsequently, debuting as an announcer at the station in the same city XEMR. His ambition led him to Mexico City to try to register as an announcer for the then famous "Voz de America Latina", XEW ... and he did, but not as speaker but as .. . actor of the soap opera of the 50's. The first surprise was him, because never would have thought that this activity would find its way.
