Male born 1950 raised in San Antonio, Texas comments on Barker tape, July 16, 1990; Tucson, Arizona

This interview features the same man from Tape 13 listening and commenting on the George C. Barker interviews with pachuco language speakers. He makes a variety of observations about pachucos, drawing on his experiences while citing articles and books about the topic to converse about the culture with Dr. Cummings. He mentions that there is very little English spoken on the tape, so he wonders if these pachucos were originally from Mexico. He also observes the dynamic between the two men on the tape and speculates about the nature of their relationship. The interviewee talks about pachucos’ place in society, how they were treated by the police and media, and about the generational gap between them and the generation that came before.
