At the end of March 1939,
Doctor Alberto Briseño
Montero from Guadalajara moved to Puerto Vallarta.
He was the nephew of Roberto, my husband, and came
to open his practice in Vallarta. He stayed with us
while he settle into his new practice. Our house was
only a few feet away from the Malecon.
The first morning at breakfast, Alberto complained
he couldn't sleep all night due to the sound of the
ocean waves. He was a city person who never experienced
this before.
Doctor Briseño lived
with us in Vallarta for a year. He was a good doctor
and captivated the heart of a few local young women
who found him kind and handsome. He left Vallarta
for a short time and returned of September 15, 1940.
When Alberto came back to live with us, I was trying
to show off, redecorating his bedroom. I especially
made a large wooden frame box that would serve as a
closet. The sides ere made of gauze of the dove given
to me by my friend, Lupita de Romero. The bedroom looked
nice when I finished decorating it. But, alas! I didn't
know crickets had nested in the closet. On the first
night, crickets kept Alberto up all night serenading
him. I felt bad when he told me he couldn't sleep,
but we took the situation lightheartedly and ended
having a good laugh.
After Alberto went back to Guadalajara, he become
a successful cardiologist specialist. He worked for
the Mexican Social Security for a long time.
Briseño retired but
continued his practice in Guadalajara City. He was
well known for caring for his patients and for having
a big heart. He dedicated his life in full to his
profession.
Alberto married and raised a big family. Some of his
local patients continued their health maintenance traveling
to Guadalajara to see him. The people from our society
have never forgotten the kind, big-hearted doctor.
