Jack and Etta Cortez were my neighbors when I was growing up in Las Vegas. He was a "larger than life" kind of person and she was very glamourous, the envy of all the mothers in my neighborhood. Jack and Etta worked as a team to faithfully produce this magazine. For years it was very successful. When Jack's health began to fail, Etta carried on for him. She remained in their home following Jack's death and their son's death. She died almost penniless and the house was in a real shambles. She left it to a friend of our family and it has since been remodeled and sold.
