The Roque children, including Felipe and his wife Bicenta (center, holding baby), are pictured in Redlands during the early 1930s. Lupe Roque Yglesias remembered: "We came into Redlands when I was about two and a half. We lived there in Third Street then we moved into the Barrio Judeo, that area, right there on Herald Street, it was the Barrio de Judeo. We had little bungalows, all on that big lot. I was eight years old when we bought the house where we grew up [1113 Herald Street]. We moved into it for $1,000. And the house is still there." Pictured: (top) Freddie Roque, Eiberto Roque, Tony Roque, Bicenta Roque, and Tomas. On the left is Fryne Roque Yglecias, Maggie Roque Castro, May Barbo, Jennie Roque, and Faith Filipe Roque.
