SEVERO B. Sobrevilla, better known as Uncle Sam, will be celebrating his centennial birthday on November 1, 2009 at Congregational Christian Church at 2400 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, CA. 90026.

He was born on November 1, 1909 at Barrio Bautista, Caba, La Union in Northern Philippines. His parents are Mr. Santiago Sobrevilla and Mrs. Catalina Bautista-Sobrevilla. Caba is a coastal town facing the China Sea, so the youthful Severo developed his liking for fishing, which he still engages in this activity in such places as Redondo Beach and Venice Beach.
