Thank you.
I could probably write a book about my family's adventures. Both my parents are from Cuba, and they fled to the US in '61. I was born in NYC in '62. My father was a radio announcer in Cuba and originally supported Castro and worked with him, then turned against him when he found out Castro was a communist. Castro's people almost killed him. My mother's family had to hide my father in their basement for weeks until he was able to sneak out and go to Jamaica. From Jamaica, he went to Miami, where he met with CIA and told them everything he knew about Castro. From Miami, he went to Boston, then finally to New York. My mother fled via Jamaica a few months later and met up with him in New York.
Over the past forty years, about half my family has made it to the US, including an aunt and uncle who came in '80 with the Marielitos. Thankfully, only one member has died making the attempt.
I lady I work with escaped from Cuba in the early '60s. A few months ago I gave her a target that I used at the range. It was a picture of Fidel giving a speech.
She hung it up in her cube for the world to see. Funny thing is not a damn person in our very PC workplace has said a thing about it.
That said, I think if this storm doesn't pick up a little more forward movement soon it may just jink back over the Keys or Cuba.
