Jesse asked his mother for her blessing and off he went to Escondido California where his only older sister Evelia Catalina greeted him with open arms. He loved Western films and looked up to John Wayne and his cowboy ways. After traveling quite a bit from Nevada to Texas he ended up in Minneapolis, Minnesota for work. Here he met the true love of his life, Maria De La Luz Suarez Torresday. Romantic love letters were exchanged and wedding bells rang.
