...Coming Fat Chicks.” Through a series of clerical errors, we have the issue you read today.Prestige and Mobility is all about unsung heroes, such as ourselves.

Justino, 46, a chemical engineer, said, "Being far away from Mexico, does not mean this cannot affect us. I am worried for my four children. All are under 14 and classes have not been suspended here. I think prevention is most important, the authorities have the responsibility to let us know what is going on. I think classes should be suspended.
