John A. Flores, MBA has been
collecting "dichos" for most of his entire life. From the migrant farm
workers that harvested crops along with his family throughout California
and Idaho to the many Hispanics that have come across his life,
contributions to these "dichos" in his books were slowly gathered. Many
persons contributed to these "dichos" through the years with the many
thousands of conversations that were sprinkled with "dichos" that he was
able to hear. In other cases, those that were aware that the author was
gathering "dichos" wrote them on many types of writing materials and
held on to them until they were able to personally give them to him. The
"dichos" in the book are a link to a rich and proud past of a
language that is part of the Hispanic culture, now and in the
generations to come.
Mr. Flores currently lives with his family in Fresno, California. He
operates several other businesses and is working on four more volume of
Dichos that will be published in the months to come.
