There is another record of her crossing from Jalisco via El Paso Texas on March 10th 1928. I'd assume this was to visit family.

Personal Life & Organizations
Marylou loved music -- big band, swing, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis, Tom Jones and flamenco music. Her sister did flamenco dancing and her nephews played the guitar. Watching PBS music concerts, like the July 4 show and the New Year's concert from Vienna, she really loved big sounds.
I remember watching musicals with her on TV and even on vacations we would go to Lake Tahoe and see a dinner or drink show at The Sahara or Harrah's. We saw Debbie Reynolds a few times; her energy was amazing. Wayne Newton dazzled everyone with his musical skills and Vegas-type flair.
She loved it all: The talent, the glitter, the dinner and drinks, not to mention dressing up and visiting the casino shops.

Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Marylou's lifetime
In 1926, in the year that Marylou (Loza) Guadan was born, on October 31st, Harry Houdini died in Michigan. Houdini was the most famed magician of his time and perhaps of all time, especially for his acts involving escapes - from handcuffs, straitjackets, chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, and more. He was president of the Society of American Magicians and stringently upheld professional ethics. He died of complications from a ruptured appendix. Although he had received a blow to the area a couple of days previously, the connection between the blow and his appendicitis is disputed.
In 1932, she was only 6 years old when five years to the day after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic, Amelia Earhart flew solo from Newfoundland to Ireland, the first woman to cross the Atlantic solo and the first to replicate Lindbergh's feat. She flew over 2,000 miles in just under 15 hours.
In 1955, when she was 29 years old, on September 30th, movie star James Dean, 24, died in a car accident. He was headed in his new Porsche 550 to a race in Salinas California when, traveling at 85 mph, he collided with a 1950 Ford Tudor, also speeding, driven by a 23 year old college student. Dean died, his passenger and the other driver survived.
In 1971, Marylou was 45 years old when on May 3rd, 10,000 federal troops, 5,100 officers of the D.C. Metropolitan Police, 2,000 members of the D.C. National Guard, and federal agents assembled in Washington DC to prevent an estimated 10,000 Vietnam War protesters from marching. President Nixon (who was in California) refused to give federal employees the day off and they had to navigate the police and protesters, adding to the confusion. By the end of a few days of protest, 12,614 people had been arrested - making it the largest mass arrest in US history.
In 1984, at the age of 58 years old, Marylou was alive when due to outrage about "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (it seemed too "dark" to many and it was rated PG), a new rating was devised - PG-13. The first film rated PG-13 was "Red Dawn".
