    I am trying to get in touch with Adelaida’s sister-in-law, Sandy Moreno, Modesto Moreno’s widow. I am a friend of the family, having dated Adelaida’s nephew, Rito Moreno, while he was in the Army @ Fort Hood, TX. I have tried several ways to get a message to Sandy but to no effect. If this message can be passed on to Adelaida’s sister-in-law, Sandy Moreno, please do so. Thanks for the help in reconnecting with the Moreno family.
