Dr. Ofelia Romero-Motlagh has written a book, “The Legend of the Romeros, Then and Today,” identifying and celebrating her nineteen-member family from their humble beginnings as farm laborers to their lives as successes. Tragedies to accomplishments are highlighted with reference to historical and cultural nuances and the photographic images accompanying them.

If you lived in Fillmore, California, and attended school here the 1950s through the 1970s you probably were acquainted with the Romero children and their parents.

The Fillmore Historical Museum will celebrate the Romero family with a book signing featuring Dr. Romero-Motlagh on November 20th, 2021, in the Southern Pacific Depot at 350 Main Street, Fillmore, California, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. All are welcome to come to the museum to meet Ofelia and have her autograph her new book.
