Description

Victoria Colunga (maiden name Saldivar) stands with son Oscar who is just peaking his head out of the many concrete pipes or "pipas" found all across South Colton. These pipes were manufactured by Hydro Conduit which Narciso (known as Chico) Colunga worked for. The pipes were even painted different colors and present in the local parks.
