Valadez Becomes
U. S. Citizen
“You will teach me?’’, ques
tioned Raymundo Valadez, a Tex
as A&M dining hall employe.
“Yes, I’ll be happy to teach
you,” smiled Dr. Kate Adele Hill,
chairman of the Texas Literacy
Council.
The conversation was in 85th
District Court in Bryan, moments
after Valadez had been sworn in
as a naturalized citizen of the
United States. The Monterrey,
Mexico, native had been studying
toward that goal for almost two
years.
District Judge John M. Barron
remarked that American citizen
ship is among the greatest gifts
which can be given a person.
“You have as many civil rights
as President Johnson or Presi
dent Lincoln before him,” Barron
emphasized. “American citizen
ship is not properly appreciated
in this country.”
The 49-year-old Valadez moved
to Texas when he was three, in
1918, and had resided in the
United States since. He and his
wife, Arcadia, have lived in Bry
an since 1945, moving from Waco.
They have eight children, five
boys and three girls. Mrs. Vala
dez was born at Bastrop.
Valadez has studied under Dr.
Hill since December, 1964, with
emphasis on English and Ameri
can Government. He passed a
rigid test which might befuddle
native-born Americans.
“Raymundo has really worked
at becoming an American,” Dr.
Hill said. “He goes to work

about 5 a.m. each day. This
gives him time to spend an hour
or so studying’ with me in the
afternoons.”
At Judge Barron’s request, Dr.
Hill spoke briefly during the
ceremony.
“I want to pay tribute to Ag
gies who helped Raymundo
achieve his goal: Judge Barron
(’35), Brooks Gofer (’43), W. D.
Burley (’41), Hollis Duke (’54),
V. G. Young (’34), J. B. Cloudt
(’42) and R. J. Clark,” Dr. Hill
commented.
Cloudt participated in cere
monies as attorney for the U. S.
Justice Department. Clark wrote
an article in The Battalion,
A&M’s student newspaper, which
called Dr. Hill’s attention to Ray-
mundo’s desire to become a U. S.
citizen.
Asked why he wanted to be
come a citizen, Valadez said: “I
have lived here all my life and do
not know life in the old country.
A person should be a citizen of
the country in which he lives.”
“I own a nice home and lot in
Bryan,” he continued, “and have
paid social security all my life.
When I die, I want my wife and
family to get full benefit of all
I own, with no questions asked,”
Valadez emphasized.

Frogman Now Plunges Into Books
A Navy Frogman who leaped
into the Atlantic to assist Edward
White, James McDivitt and Gem
ini 4 out of the brine prefers
plunging into books at Texas
A&M.
Lt. Martin Every, of the first
space walk Gemini flight, just
finished his first semester of geo
logical oceanography.
The 26-year-old still bites the
oxygen mouthpiece occasionally.
He was an instructor in A&M’s
SCUBA diving course last spring,
and may teach again next fall.
“He was the best man we had,”
commented co-instructor Don
Walsh, world-record deep ocean
diver. “Marty is our most ex
perienced diver, with the most
time in the water.”
Every had been doing Navy
undersea work five years when
he was released from active duty
in January. He’s up to his nose
in studies now, and feels he may
yet need water-wings to keep
from going under.
“It’s been a long while since I
cracked a book,” Every remarked.
“Settling into academic life is a
lot of work.” He graduated from
Notre Dame with a degree in bio
chemistry in 1961. He’s having
to take eight undergraduate geol
ogy courses.
If he covers ground as fast as
during his pre-service and Navy
days, Every will catch up quickly.
The New York born, Indiana-
reared diver lived in Scotland
four years and the Bahamas two,
where he first dipped into
SCUBA diving 7% years ago.
The Navy capitalized on it,
sending him to Fort Benning,
Puerto Rico, Key West, Little
Creek Amphibian Base, Va., and
Santo Domingo for training that
earned him parachutist’s gold
wings and experience in under
water reconnaissance, demoli
tions, submarine tube ejection
and all types diving gear.
He was commander of Duty
Team 21 that fastened a flotation
collar to GT-4 and rode the waves
until ship pickup. After cradling
the spacecraft in the inflatable
rubber gasket, the team con
versed with the astronauts.
“They were as excited as a
couple of kids,” said Every who
described the recovery on nation
al TV. “McDivitt wanted to
jump from the capsule to the col
lar in trampoline fashion.”
Every said the pre-splashdown
wait was the toughest part of the
assignment.
“I lost 11 pounds in a wet suit
waiting in the helicopter,” the
slender swimmer noted.
“Over-confidence is the experi
enced diver’s chief problem,” the
oceanography student said. “Div
ing forgives one mistake, but not
a combination.” A&M’s SCUBA
class teaches basics. It’s brevity
is a source of concern to him.
“These people have no knowl
edge of a true marine environ
ment and how to get along with
a man o’ war or sea urchin,”
Every explained.
He isn’t likely to lose touch
with a face mask and oxygen
bottles.
His wife Bonnie Jo, speed
therapist at A&M Consolidated,
is an amateur diver and likes tie
