A 74-year-old farmer living in a depressed region of Honduras has
fathered 35 children and says he has the energy to have more with his
wife, who is pregnant again. Santos Pastor Baca, who has lived all
his life in the village of Concepcion 30 miles south of the Honduran
capital of Tegucigalpa, says his oldest child is 51 and the youngest
just 3 months old. The man, who has 40 grandchildren and 10
great-grandchildren, had 18 offspring by his first wife, who died in
1979, and eight by current wife, Cristina Cerrato, 35. "The other
nine I had outside, a few times when I went astray," he told La
Prensa.
