If you're from Brownsville, Texas...
...you've heard of Gladys Porter but have you ever heard of Gladys Andreas? Around 1940 this pretty young lady got her photograph taken during the Charro Days celebration and also appeared on a postcard. She may not be known anymore(unless there's someone out there who can tell us?) but we'll remember her today with these images compiled while browsing through the Brownsville Station digital archives. A special "thank you" goes out to Jose Cazares (where you at Joe?) who sent two 8x10 copies long ago while mining for historical gems.
This fabulous photo appeared in the Brownsville HeraldBrownsville Herald-Jan-30-1940-p-32
233 E St Charles was where Gladys lived with her family
