My essay, "Autopsy of a Rat," the
Camera Obscura (37) Speedy Gonzales
exposé that went on to become the central chapter of
Tex[t]-Mex would not be what it is without an unforseen assist from an SDSU College of Education giant--a professor and a friend by the name of Dr. Dave Malcolm. Professor Malcolm was directly responsible for revealing the research that led to my unearthing and "carbon-dating" of the untoward and salacious birth of the name "Speedy Gonzales" in Hollywood and California.
RIP my friend, RIP.
Thanks for the tip on the obituary, he was a great man.
