Rebeca Gonzalez Ewing (Tarver): February 2007

Rebecca ( Becky ) Ewing

Born In Havana Cuba under a Communist Government, I have learned to Love and Respect This Magnificent Country ! My parents were both Preachers and Bible school teachers or The Nazarene Church. With the Help of the church were were able to leave Cuba in 1967 and Move to Spain. We lived in Spain for almost a Year. I went to Kindergarten in Cuba and in Spain and again in The US!

From Spain we flew to New York. I will never forget flying into New York and seeing so many people all speaking English and we could not understand a single word. Back then Spansih was not as common as it is today. My dad could only say Hot Dogs when he ordered at a Restaurant, WE were so sick of Hot Dogs. One day we was bound and determined to order something different so he tried to describe to the waitress what he wanted. He was trying to describe a Hamburger ( well actually 6 of them) The Waitress brought him 6 Hot dogs instead...He was very frustrated. We then Moved to Demin New Mexico where my dad and mom pastored a church there. I have very cold memories of Demin New Mexico. It was cold and the house we lived in had no insulation and very little heat. I remember all of us sleeping in one double bed (6 of us) to stay warm.

From Demin we Moved to Yuma Arizona. We lived there 3 years. After there we Moved to LA California. I went to school there from 3 grade to 6th grade.

We then moved to Houston Texas...That is the state I call home. That is where I finished school and had my babies.

My dad and mom moved allot due to establishing churches then moving on once they were established.

I married my first husband at the young age of 17...totally clueless of life and marriage. I had two fab Kids...Kevin and Kim Tarver. My Husband (Ex now) Got transferred to Crossett Arkansas with the company he was working at. So we moved to Arkansas in 1982.

We later got a divorce and I moved to Russellville Arkansas in 1986 where I married my current husband James E Ewing.

We married and combined two families. He had Three boys and I had one boy and one girl.

Life then became very interesting and complicated to say the least.

At the time I was not
