     73-year-old Jose Trinidad Barragan died in Hood River, Ore., on June 15, 2003.
     He was born in Jalisco, Mexico, on Dec. 25, 1929, to Juana (Velazquez) and Jesus Barragan. He grew up in Mexico, where he worked as a laborer and served in the Mexican Army. In 1988, he moved to the White Salmon area and worked for Rick Ensminger until his health forced him to retire two years ago.
