Time to introduce you all to Jonathan Gutierrez, the Bayous' current head trainer. There is a lot of information to share with you at this point about him, so I'll get to it momentarily. Cap(s) for this team will be included at the bottom of this post, as usual. With no further ado, then, let's try and get to know at least a bit more about him now, to the best of our ability and all, of course, folks.

Jonathan Gutierrez was born on June 4, 1910 in New York City, New York to Antonio and the former Eoslari Paigruphen, a native of Slaabovia, as their third son and sixth child while his parents were visiting friends of the family, although his family lived in Nebraska at the time. It was a five-weeks premature birth, and it was touch-and-go for a while for both him and his mother, but both he and his mother pulled through the situation moderately well. Although it was still the case that he'd be his parents' last biological child for multiple reasons, just the same, through no fault of his own.

Growing up as the youngest child allowed him to have certain freedoms, so to speak, that his older siblings didn't have, at times. But conversely, it made it more difficult at times to say what he really thought about certain people, things, or situations around certain people, for sure. For instance, he was allowed to study a lot of things, as the mood struck him in his life a lot more than his siblings could. But when it came to many family discussions, he would often have to wait to express his thoughts until after his parents and/or siblings, for instance, had first spoken on a certain topic of discussion.

By the time he was a teenager, he decided that he wanted to pursue a medical career of some sort. His older siblings didn't like the idea much, if at all, and thought he should pursue a career in business. It was a very tense next three years between him and them until Antonio and Eoslari ultimately rendered an executive order-type decision on the matter, after having seen over that length of time just how serious Jonathan was about pursuing a medical career in his life. After much private conversation between his parents during that time, they ultimately chose to respect his desire to pursue such a career for himself. They ruled in Jonathan's favor, consequently. His siblings didn't like that, but they still respected and loved their parents enough not to try and fight the decision. Especially because they knew that once their parents had ruled on such an important matter like this, for example, they'd never reverse their decision, no matter what, if they didn't absolutely have to at all.

They all weren't happy for some time afterwards, for sure. But eventually, time and all ultimately allowed them to realize that Jonathan would never have really been able to cut it sufficiently well as an international man of business. Plus they eventually came to love the woman who ultimately became his wife, one Ava Julia Flarha, a native of Ireland, who he met in Dublin one night during an international medical conference just before the outbreak of World War II.

Within two years of their meeting in 1938, both Jonathan and Ava were married in front of nearly 150 relatives, friends, and associates of theirs. After a brief honeymoon to Peru, they quickly settled in San Antonio, Texas, for the duration of the rest of World War II.

They started a family within two years of their marriage, after Rafael was born in 1942. Oscar was born in 1944, and not long after Joe Waldrip hired Jonathan as the Bayous' first head trainer, they were blessed with little Laschara, named after one of Ava's best college friends from Helvarta, in May 1946. The family moved to Kenner, Louisiana almost immediately after Jonathan's hiring by the Bayous as their head trainer.

While they are still adjusting to the local area, they have begun making friends in it, although it may still be some time before they are able to have very close friends where they now are in Louisiana. Personally, Ava would prefer for them to live in the northeastern United States, but as she promised on her wedding day to support her husband for a lifetime, she realizes that may not happen anytime soon.

During the offseasons, whenever possible, though, they and their children periodically travel to various places all over the United States mostly by car or train, and occasionally by plane when required for them. Since the time Jonathan was hired as the Bayous' head trainer, they've visited about 50 or so scenic and/or historically-important locations in nearly ten different states, in truth, mostly in the Upper Midwestern United States, but not entirely.

In his spare time, Jonathan often spends a lot of time writing songs, poetry, or short stories, composing music (mostly of an unusually blended variety of musical genres), reading his Bible, or working in his workshop where he works on any number of carpentry projects. Especially when he's either quite upset or in a rather solitary mood in his life.

Picture(s) and certain other information will be shared later as possible and all, I'm sure. Caps are below. Several organization-related screenshots are likely to be in the next post, in order to close out my introduction of the New Orleans Bayous organization to you all. Once I'm done introducing the Bayous organization to you all, I'll then move as quickly as I can to the Texas Border Patrol organization, and begin introducing its important people as needed, of course. Thank you for your time and all here, everyone. CD out.
