Isabel Bilbao/Boise, Idaho. One of those being remembered this year is my aitxitxa, Fred Eiguren. He was 90 years old when he passed away, after a valiant fight against bone cancer. He was a first generation Basque American whose family moved to Jordan Valley Oregon from Lekeitio, Bizkaia. Aitxitxa was proud of his Basque heritage, and counted among the many who made an impact on the cultural stronghold we have today.
The hardest part of attending the service is seeing the sad faces of the loved ones left behind, as well as knowing that a different group of Basque people will be remembered next year. The best part though, is walking out with people who love you, and knowing that they have a place in their hearts for the people who have filled yours.
