<br />
CINCINNATI -- When former Mexico president Vicente Fox comes to Cincinnati to speak to Hispanic business leaders, he'll also be getting back to some of his roots.<br />
<br />
While it was not well-known locally until recently, Fox's grandfather, Joseph Fox, of German descent, grew up, went to school, and worked here before moving to Mexico near the end of the 19th century.<br />
<br />
The local Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has lined up Vicente Fox to be its keynote speaker for its annual gala Nov. 7. <br />
<br />
"This is a story that should make us proud," said Alfonso Cornejo, a Mexican native who is president of the chamber. "It's a story about immigration across countries. ... Cincinnati will always be linked to the history of Mexico."<br />
<br />
Fox, Mexico's president in 2000-2006, has talked about his grandfather during a recent round of national TV and radio appearances promoting his book, "Revolution of Hope." That's had some Cincinnati-area residents reviewing their familial ties to him, and a private party with Fox is planned with his relatives here next month.<br />
<br />
Linda Pape, whose late husband, John Wesley Pape Jr., was a distant cousin, has faded letters, photos and other keepsakes about Joseph Fox, whose family changed its name from the German Fuchs. Pape's husband-to-be and his father visited the Fox family's ranch in Mexico, and came home with a red-and-yellow bullfighting cape she has hanging on her wall.<br />
<br />
Reid Sikes recalled his mother, Jane Hageman, speculating several years ago that they were related to the president of Mexico. "We all laughed at her," Sikes said.<br />
<br />
But his mother, an avid historian, tracked the links and proved she was a distant Fox cousin before she died in 2003. "The most meaningful thing about this is that it's the realization of a dream my mom had," said Sikes.</div>Wjhonson
