“Cuate” Barrera. Graphic Source: Facebook photo.Ed. note: I got word early Sunday morning that two-term Pharr Mayor Fidencio “Cuate” Barrera died at the age of 94. So much to say about the man who helped make the Pharr International Bridge a reality, look for a full-tribute story in next week’s issue of The Advance News Journal. The retired Lt. Colonel was the Pharr mayor between 1982 and 1990 and was in charge of the PSJA ROTC Program for many years.
