The Lezcano family. A girl in her guardapolvo (the white school smock worn in Argentina), ready to set off for the Mariano Moreno school, 8 km from Eucaliptus. The pupils would come to the estancia's main house and were taken from there — by jeep in the later years, and before that (1978) by lorry, by tractor and even in a bus the owner lent his workers.
