In 1965, Chilean-born Mariteresa Rivera-Rogers (b. 1943) and husband Enrique Rivera set out on their adventurous leap and moved to the United States.

Their first home was on Convention Center Drive, though they and their four children would experience several different neighborhoods over the years.
