Ernest Marquez, a prolific chronicler of his hometown who mined his family's saga for his histories, died Saturday at a hospice center in North Hollywood after a short illness, his daughter Monica Marquez said. He was 99.
"I am honored to be here, signing my book, because when I was a child, I was cast off the beach of the Jonathan Club for being Mexican," Marquez told the audience, according to Angel City Press co-founder Paddy Calistro.
