Mr. Liebeler. When you dropped out of school here in Brooklyn, did you then join the Marine Corps?

Mr. Delgado. No. I held a job for a while at Van Dyk & Reeves, on 42d Street and 2d Avenue, in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Mr. Liebeler. What kind of a job was that?

Mr. Delgado. It was just a regular laborer at an olive factory, making Maraschino cherries and olives and so forth. And it lasted about 2½ months, and I joined the Marine Corps.

Mr. Liebeler. Do both of your parents speak Spanish?

Mr. Delgado. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Are they both from Puerto Rico originally?

Mr. Delgado. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Approximately when did they come from Puerto Rico?

Mr. Delgado. My father came when he was roughly 20 years of age. My mother came when she was about 13.
