    436 Gonzalo runs a car repair and body shop in Houston, Texas.  I like talking to Gonzalo about his business.  He is justifiably proud of what he has done, from scratch, and of the fact that his son has recently joined him in running the business.  He has a thick Hispanic accent, and when he describes his work and his business, I get a sense of someone who came here and has etched out a space for himself in this country, piece by piece.  I think you can see that determination in this photograph.
