Remembering the ‘Old days’ BONAGUIDI, SCHAFF REFLECT ON GROWING UP IN GALLUP By Molly Ann Howell Managing Editor

eighborhood kids gathering together for a game of backyard baseball. Or shooting hoops at a friend’s house. These are some of Mayor Louie Bonaguidi’s favorite memories of growing up in Gallup during the ‘60s and ‘70s.

THE BONAGUIDIS MOVE TO GALLUP The Bonaguidi family chose Gallup as their home in 1924 after Louie’s father Sesto and his brother Mario decided to expand their shoe repair business. They already had a store in Albuquerque, but they’d both heard great things about the mining town of Gallup and decided to give it a try. The two men traveled back and forth between Gallup and Albuquerque for a while before Mario fell in love with an Albuquerque schoolteacher and decided to stay in the big city full time. Sesto chose to make Gallup his family’s home.

That was in 1924, and City Electric Shoe Shop officially celebrated its 100th anniversary this year. Although Louie said they aren’t planning the big celebration until next year. While his father was running the shoe repair store, Louie was busy growing up. He attended Cathedral School for most of his education, but then transferred to Gallup High School his sophomore year before graduating in 1963. He remembers his childhood growing up in Gallup fondly. “Growing up, the neighborhoods were great,” he said. “There was like 30-40 kids in [the neighborhood I grew up in]. Playing hide-and-seek with about 15 to 20 people is quite fun.” As a teenager, the Zuni Drive-In was a popular place to meet up with friends and hang out. Or a group of them would go visit the local pool. “Summers were always great,” Louie said. “Winters were kind of hard because the snow always seemed terrible. We’d get snow all the way from Thanksgiving until May.” Louie said the closeness of the small town had its pros and cons during his childhood. He knew almost everyone in town, but that also meant everyone knew him. “It was hard to stay out of trouble because everybody knew each other,” Louie said. “If you got in trouble you’d be in trouble with the whole community.” For example, when Louie and his friends first got their drivers’ licenses, they once stayed out until 3 am driving around town.

While Louie was in grade school, his father hired the first Diné-speaking employee at City Electric Shoe Shop. Back then, many Navajo people didn’t speak English, so it was difficult to find someone who spoke both languages fluently. Sesto spoke a little bit of the language, and when he was younger Louie knew enough so that he could tell people how much something cost. But he said he’s lost most of the language now.

The task force operates

as an overtime opportunity for any law enforcement officer who is interested in participating. Maiorano said so far all of his officers have agreed to do it when asked.

Recently, law enforcement officers p a t r ol le d D ow nt ow n Gallup on Sept. 6 and found multiple people with fentanyl and methamphetamine on them. They also made arrests for outstanding warrants. Two people were caught with large amounts of fentanyl on them, and they were charged with trafficking narcotics.
