Selena Y Los Dinos
Case Study CX005.1 Last revised: February 24, 2014 Selena y los Dinos Justin Ward Selena Quintanilla-Perez was born in Texas on April 16, 1971 into an English-speaking Latino family of Jehovah’s Witnesses.1 Her father, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. (“Quintanilla”) was an enterprising man who had spent his youth trying to make it in the Texas music scene as manager and member of a band called Los Dinos. Quintanilla took a job at a chemical plant when he settled down, but later left to open his own restaurant. During his (ultimately unsuccessful) effort to keep the struggling business afloat, he had the musically talented nine- year-old Selena perform live music to help attract customers. Although the restaurant failed, Selena continued to perform under the name Selena y los Dinos. She learned to sing in Spanish and began recording with local producers. After the eighth grade, she dropped out of school to pursue her musical career. The band remained in many ways a family affair: Quintanilla (once described as “the ultimate stage father”2) managed the group, her brother A.B. played bass guitar and wrote many of Selena’s songs, and she married the band’s guitarist, Chris Perez. By 1993, Selena was an award-winning Tejano singer and a rising star, having signed a record deal with Capitol/EMI (which had asked Selena to release albums as “Selena,” not “Selena y los Dinos”). She would go on to further musical success and to open a chain of boutique stores called Selena Etc. On February 7, 1993, Selena y los Dinos gave a free concert at Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum. -
Imagined Histories: Biography, Fiction, and the Challenges of Historical Imagination
IMAGINED HISTORIES: BIOGRAPHY, FICTION, AND THE CHALLENGES OF HISTORICAL IMAGINATION Eric J. Morgan University of Wisconsin- Green Bay What we imagine, like what we remember, represents a good part of what we are and a good part of what we will become. -Tim O'Brien 1 There is Indiana Jones, the adventuring archaeologist clad in his trademark fedora, wielding both his trusty whip and a mischievous smile. He is looking down at my America in the Twentieth Century course from the projected image of a Raiders of the Lost Ark theatrical poster, revealing to my students who, in part, I am. I proceed to tell my students that the very first profession I desired to pursue was, like my childhood hero in the blockbuster 1981 film, archaeology. But after researching what life as an archaeologist was really like, the punch line concludes, I turned to a much more exciting field: that of modern American history. I open the first class meeting of every semester with my own self-deprecating biography, discussing my upbringing in a Midwestern Rust Belt city famous for its history ofdepressing sports disappointments, my experiences of being drawn to the exotic pictures of National Geographic at an early age, what it was like coming of age at the end of the Cold War, and (somewhat embarrassingly) my childhood obsessions with the films of George Lucas, particularly the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies, which taught me about storytelling and took my imagination to far-away places. Our own pasts matter, I tell my students, whether we are the most famous of people or more anonymous historical actors. -

Dick Stockton's Biography
Biography Dick Stockton Award Winning Sportscaster, Broadcaster and Analyst In a very inspiring, humorous and engaging presentation, Stockton shares with audiences his behind-the-scenes experiences in some of the greatest moments in sports. Dick Stockton is a national network sports television broadcaster who has covered events for virtually every major sport for over four decades. He has called baseball’s World Series, nine NBA championship finals, countless NCAA basketball tournament games including Regional finals and hosted one NCAA Final Four. He has covered major league baseball for over ten seasons as well as two American League championship series and when he was with Turner Sports he covered seven National League Division series. In addition, his voice is synonymous with two winter Olympic Games punctuated by the Gold Medal performance in speed-skating by Dan Jansen in Norway in 1994 as well as the gold medal victories of Bonnie Blair. Stockton started freelancing for CBS Sports in the late 1960s, while still doing local television at KDKA- TV in Pittsburgh. In 1978, he joined CBS full-time, and from then until 1994 covered a variety of sports for that network, including the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, college basketball including ten years as a play-by-play broadcaster of the NCAA Regional Finals. Stockton was the host at the famous upset of Villanova over Georgetown in 1985. Stockton was part of the broadcast crew for NBC Sports’ coverage of the 1975 World Series, and on television he called Carlton Fisk’s legendary 12th-inning home run in the sixth game of the World Series for NBC Sports (“if it stays fair......home run!”) Stockton left CBS in 1994 for Fox Sports, which continues to employ him on NFL and Major League Baseball telecasts. -
