It was 1 a.m.

and Aurora Chavez was standing on the porch of a foreboding, two-story house on Broadway. The taxi cab she had taken from the airport had gone and Mrs. Chavez stood there looking into the darkness. I was exhausted and I was so scared, said Mrs. Chavez.

She had spent an entire day flying from her home in Brooklyn, N.Y. There had been stops in SL Louis and Colorado Springs. At length, a man from next door came over. Do you know if Agustin Maldonado Rivera lives here? asked Mrs. Chavez.

Oh, you mean Maldo, said the stranger. He died about three months ago. And so it goes. Twenty years later, she was still late. Mrs.

Chavez sat down on the porch and began to cry. This is a story of a daughters love. Not a fathers love. Not a familys love. After retiring as a staff sergeant from the Army, Maldo left his wife, six daughters and two sons in Brooklyn.

None knew where he had gone, nor did they seem to care. Except Mrs. Chavez. The others were angry with him, said Mrs. Chavez.

I couldnt have that kind of anger for him. I remembered him with love. I remembered that he was happy. What do you call it? Yes, an optimist The last time Mrs. Chavez saw her father was 1970 in Puerto Rico, where she was living with her first husband.

Maldo gave her an Army decoration he had received for service in Vietnam. It was a bronze star with the for valor. Maldo retired to Pueblo a couple of years later. Having been stationed at Fort Carson, he had come to love the city, especially the Spanish influence. When he died March 31 at age 74, there was no one to claim the body.

He was staying at the big house on Broadway, a cook and handyman for the owner, Salvie Gonzales. Gonzales, Henry Reyes and others raised money to bury him in Roselawn Cemetery. i PEARLED vision center NOBODY CARES FOR EYES MORE THAN PEARLE.

OHCABLE CHANNEL 13 mas Aurora Chavez kneels near the grave marker she placed on the grave of her father Agustin Maldonado Rivera in Pueblo's Roselawn Cemetery at the end of her 20-year search. In the meantime, Mrs. Chavezs search continued. Always she went through the Social Security offices. No, they couldn't give her his address.

But, yes, if she wanted to write a letter, they would mail it She made contact once. In 1979, he answered her letter. But when she wrote again, her father had left that address. Finally, an employee, breaking rules, gave her his address. It was at the house on Broadway.

Mis. Chavez, a hospital lab technician, learned this in April. By July, she had saved the money to come to Pueblo. After learning of her fathers death, she visited the Broadway Inn, one of Maldos hangouts. Mrs.

Chavez visited Maldos grave. Upset that there was no marker, she had a metal one placed at the site. She has had trouble comprehending the generosity of Pueblo. In this day and age I just cant believe theres a city like this, she said. Brooklyns like a jungle.

Mrs. Chavez has returned to the jungle, the quest over. Whether Maldo wanted to be found or not, his daughter sought him out She also found on his dresser a picture she sent him in 1979. The gentleman next door said he used to show the picture and talk about me, said Mrs. Chavez.

Activities Program. From page IB Holmes Realty, the firm thats marketing Corona Del Rey. Retirees and others cant find the quality they want in existing homes. Tliirty-two patio style homes ranging from $105,000 to $109,000 are planned for the five-acre Corona Del Rey project where Holmes expects to break ground on a presold basis by August The first two patio homes at The Seasons will be finished in about a month and will be shown as models. Within a year, developers Roger Lessman and Jack Acuff expect to have sold out their first phase, a total of 13 homes.

Tom Burke Construction last year opened 30 lots in Cambridge and half are under contract now, Burke said. Seven homes are built and ground is about to be broken on two more, all priced at $145,000 or more. The hottest market is below $120,000, but Burke said high-end homes are selling because people are comfortable with move-ups now and retirees are coming here with money. Developer John Siegfried created 27 lots in Ptarmigan Estates, a 16Wacre subdivision at 27 Vi and roads. All but six lots are sold and Siegfried is scouting new opportunities for the staged development of 80 homes over the next four years.

Other projects are under construction in Paradise Hills and on the Redlands and north of Fruita. Wiman McLaughlin Realty is developing 12 homesites for doublewide modular homes in a rural setting. Finished, theyll sell for $71,000 to $86,000, according to developer Chuck Wiman. Dennis Wiltgen is about to open a new project, El Rio Villas on the bluffs overlooking the Colorado River but, he said, new develop ment costs put those lots $4,000 higher than those in The Bluffs where hes working now. A lot in The Bluffs goes for about $15,000.

With developers buying up and building on the scattered open lots in existing subdivisions, scarcity is also pushing prices. The lot situation here is pretty critical, said White. He estimates that lots selling for $5,000 in 1986 would go for $20,000 now. He credits the Grand Valley Marketing Councils efforts for shoring up a market wrecked by the governments fire sale tactics and said hed like to see the councils work continue. Builders generally credit bankers with removing a boulder from their path by loosening their construction money.

Two years ago, said White, I guarantee you, if it had been John D. Rockefeller, he wouldnt have gotten any loan for a spec house. Opand Its a good place to be at my helpful. Julian Agee Assisted Living Residential Community 1501 PATTERSON ROAD GRAND JUNCTION. CO 8 1506 241-9706 I.
