Evening J_P: you asked "what was my first job after graduating from 'pre med'"
**********
I 'never' graduated, Tests showed that I was not psychologically suited to be a general practicioner, it would be too boring and routine. It was suggested that I change to theoretical Physics, however, I was accepted into the new USAF flight training as a Pilot and officer first, soooo.

From there I went on and lived with The Yaqui Indians in Sonora Mexico for 5 years learning their culture, history, and roaming through their lands looking for lost mines and treasures . In the process I discovered that the Mexican Gov't was trying to displace them from more of their land. I found an old military map of the Yaqui lands drawn up for a general from the Yaqui wars of 1906, which clearly showed just how much land had been literally stolen from then. The gov't compromised and installed an irrigation system for them since it would have meant giving them 1/2 of the present Obregon. They gave me the Bible written in Yaqui as a token of friendship, I still have it.

Shall I go on? Living 'off' of the Yucatan jungle looking for lost Mayan ruins for 6 months, part of the time with the Lacadon Indians / Mayas. My friend and I carried #65 back packs, full sized Machetes, and .22 pistols for small game and extremely marginal protection.

More ? That was when I beat the Mexican National Pistol champion.

Sigh. the picture of a perfect bum and escapist.

Fascinating..!
Ummm... Who (or what organization) administered the tests that showed you were not psychologically suited to be a general practitioner, it would be too boring and routine?

The same school, it took a week. I also found that I would never be a success as a YMCA physical instructor. shucks.

There are several other examples on youtube for your enjoyment.

OMG....!

I can't believe it...

I think you figured him out, alright!

I now see how dull my life is.
I have not been elected to become a member by the Explorer's club for explorations in old China / Gobi, the Pacific basin, the Yucatan /Quintana Roo jungles looking for Mayan ruins while living off of the jungle for 6 months, , the still basically unknown barrancas of north western Mexico. And I didn't actually find the Legendary Lost Jesuit mine of Tayopa, nor do I presently own it, or the Jesuit plot, in colaboration with the Dutch, to take North America away from Spain, the actual reason for their expulsion. Nor did I receive USAF Pilot officer training. Nor did I live with The Yaqui Indians in Sonora Mexico for 5 years learning their culture, history, and roaming through their lands looking for lost mines and treasures. Nor did I find an old military map of the Yaqui lands drawn up for a general from the Yaqui wars of 1906, nor did I receive the Bible written in Yaqui as a token of friendship. I never beat the Mexican National Pistol champion, and I definitely never received a top grade in premed classes by demonstrating that the entire process of an amoeba moving towards its prey and engulfing it could be explained by simple chemical reactions.

But Mr. Don did.
I must agree.
He is the most interesting man in the world!

Well, I think Corona is a better brand of Mexican beer than Dos Equis.
But then I have not contracted neck cancer and cured myself, so maybe my taste in Mexican beer has not developed through life experiences as with the most interesting man in the world.

[Don Jose de La Mancha]

Welcome gentlemen: he he cute posts, but I am not the most interesting man on earth,
but I did turn my back on conventional society and became a tropical tramp.

You see I have a fatal flaw, I can become interested in something until I understand how it works, then I lose interest in the final small details. I need a constant mental challenge. This is why they did not reccommend becoming a general practicioner.

As for exploring, traveling, or other life's adventures, well 87 years does give one a bit of time to experience them. Plus remember, conditions were far different in those days. Locations that took me days on a mule, can now be reached in a few hrs with a 4 x 4.

What I didn't mention was the rest of them, such as turning down a recruitment offer in the 50's from Castro's agent in the Yucatan to fly PBY-5' A s for hin into Cuba from the Yucatan, but somehow, the Amphib just didn't seem to be a fair match fo Batista's
P-51's, plus $ !:00 a day and beans when not actually flying, didn't set too well..

A stint in the US Border Patrol in the McAllen sector.

As a guard in San Quintin max security Prison in Calif. while going to school

Successfully finding the legendary lost Jesuit Mine of Tayopa for which many men have died in the search over the 400 years since it had been lost. Title # 299480.

Owning three more Au /Ag properties, one of which.' La Esconida', I have recently entered into a purchase agreement for $175,000, plus 300,000 Shares @ .65 Cdn. with Noront of Canada

Incidentally, nestled in those years were over 10 in intensive experiments and investigation of the para normal. Each phase was for my interest only since I had no intention of ever writing a paper. But what I did find is slowly being acknowledged to by sicence as it progresses. LRL's next??

And on, and boringly, on, believe me there is 'much' more, such as being the guest of honor at a Cannibal feast on Mailaita in the Solomons, shoot outs with Mexican bandits, being under siege up at the Coloradas mine for three days by Indians ---.' but then I have bored you enough.

Any questions will be freely answered, and such proof as can actually be shown on the internet presented.

Incidentally, one does not just send in their $5:00 and join the Explorers club, which ranks with the National Geographic in the scientific circles, you are investigated, then voted upon for joining it by your peers.

Now back to the possibility of LRL's theories.

g'morning J_P: You HAVEN"T done any of those things ?? sigh, You must be a model citizen, only social rejects, escapists, or treasure hunters do them. Frankly I could bore you for hrs, such as entering the Guadalcanal campaign on Aug 11 , 1942 at 18 etc, but enough about me for you to pick on, back to the theories of LrL's. Pick on them.

Don Jose de La Mancha

p.s. enjoy yourself swr.

Actually I have done some interesting things which include treasure hunting. It may be likely I am not a model citizen, or maybe not a citizen at all. I suppose you couldn't know about that because I have no interest or intent post my memoirs in a thread about the H3Tec or anywhere else in a technical forum for geotechnical methods of detecting things buried in the earth. I have not picked on your achievements. They simply seemed interesting when I found them interjected here as an off-topic diversion.

While I have no interest in publishing interesting things I have done, they seem dull compared to what you posted. Maybe this is because the things I do are not adventurous as what you did, or maybe because I haven't had 87 years to do as many interesting things you did. In any case, I must admit your autobiography seems interesting enough to cause a mistaken identity for the man in the Dos Equis commercials.

I wonder if there are any screen writers or movie producers who post in this forum that might be interested in making a series of movies along the lines of Indiana Jones, except using true stories that were posted by Don Jose de La Mancha?

[Don Jose de La Mancha]

HIO J_P: I thank you for a decent reply, and I apol if there was any sense of agrandisment on my part. It was basically done to circumvent any questions on my lack of qualificaton or experience to discuss scientific factors. It was orig. brought up by our mutual friend swr.

Actually I do have three requests to do the story of the finding of Tayopa, and the Jesuit plot. One does screen writing. However it would take an extreme amount of imagination to make a good base. We shall see

Don Jose de La Mancha

p.s. do you suppose that we can reincarnate Stewart Granger to play myself and Eleanor Parker as the smooch detail?? sigh

Of course it would take a lot of imagination if they omitted everything except the story of finding Tayopa and the Jesuit plot. Maybe they should consider using more of the adventures of Don Jose de La Mancha, saving the need to make up writers embellishments. I am sure there are far more interesting story tidbits you haven't posted yet that would work very well to add realistic color to a series of movie scripts. The real key is to tie them all together as a number of sequels, each out-doing the previous, and ending with the story of finding Tayopa.

No to the reincarnation of dead actors... The demographics of staunch Frisbeetarians who like to watch adventure movies prevents it.

hio J_P, no Eleanor Parker?? sniff kill joy.

you posted -->I am sure there are far more interesting story tidbits you haven't posted yet

Sigh including losing my land grant on the tributary of the upper Amazon ??

What one won't do for a new bride.

Don Jose de La Mancha

[Don Jose de La Mancha]

J_P My bride. took a 3 year old fashioned, full formal, courtship, complete with duennas, prsentations, posting the bans and seranades etc.

Don Jose de La Mancha

What hapened to the picture? How do you post them in here?

[J_Player]

Don't worry, Mr. Don...
I know you will find a way to post a picture of your voluptuous bride emerging through the processions, flowers, duennas, presentations and mariachis serenading to consummate the marriage.
And don't despair over the loss of your land grant...
This is a temporary setback. I know you will someday recover your lost land and much, much more...
Think about it... already you have gained title to the Lost Jesuit mine of Tayopa. What will be next?

Hey... forget about the monetary amounts of these land values... what about the promotional values?
Think about it... as the movie series of Don Jose de La Mancha sequels progress.. where will you be?
Will you be wandering amongst the Yaqui Indians of Sonora, or will you be drinking champagne in your newest villa in southern France?
(not that bacanora isn't kinda tasty).

Now I am wondering if you wouldn't be better off to contact one of the Dreamworks principals. Do you think your screenwriter will do justice to your stories, or would you be better off with Speilberg, Katzenberg and Geffen?

Or maybe George Lucas?


Best wishes,

Question for Don Jose

Don Jose,

I am very familiar with the region of Spain called La Mancha, land of wind mills and Don Quijote and sidekick Sancho Panza. Pray tell, is there a region named La Mancha where you live?
