Yeah, well that “father” turned out to be Fidel Castro.

Does Elian live with his natural father today?
No - Elian,16yrs old, lives with his paternal grandmother in Cardenas, Cuba.
Elian’s father lives a nice life having been appointed a member of the Cuban parliament.

“Donato Dalrymple: The fisherman who found the boy at sea now has a daughter of his own. He lives in Fort Lauderdale and keeps an oil painting of Elian surrounded by dolphins on his wall, according to The Miami Herald.”

More info on all the players in the reprehensible Gonzalez saga is well-stated here:

Some great current pictures of Elian here as well as of his present condition - having to salute his Communist captors on his birthday.

My Freeper screen name ‘A’elian Nation’ is my tribute to Elian as well as my scorn for one of the most sordid days in American history. I still am revulsed and ashamed of how this nation deprived him of freedom.

I also came to American when I was a boy of 6 - all by myself. I have been blessed by this country as Elian never was.

This one event caused me to stop watching or listening to all news for several years. I have never gone back to watching any news, and before this I watched several hours a day. I am still filled with anger and disgust over it.

Creg Craig = Greg Craig.

I’m sorry for the typo. I am just too upset reliving this again.

“I also came to American when I was a boy of 6 - all by myself. I have been blessed by this country as Elian never was.”

You have to be a wonderful, wonderful person.

I knew a woman who came over in the early sixties from Cuba, but was a bit older, around 10. She cannot hear the name “Castro” without nearly spitting in anger.

I could not countenance sending him back there, myself.

No one knew whether he’d always live with his real father in Cuba forever, but his father wanted him.
