Friday evening, we gathered to celebrate with family and participants of the Hernandez court case research project which Dr. Aleman has been working on for a year now.  He was motivated to research this project in which his Mother, Guadalupe Aleman, was directly involved in as a nine year old child.  His mother passed away in 2002 without ever saying much about the case.  He had many interesting things to share and we thank him for all his research.

Meet & Greet and time to eat....
