[Sometimes A River]

My parents were born there...left in March 1961.

I was there a year ago...and the conditions there are deplorable. And that's for people who have access to dollars.

I don't even want to know what it's like for those who do not.

-"My parents were born there...left in March 1961."

I was 5 yrs old and there when that vermin took over Jan 1, 1959 (I remember the day to this very day). Celebrations broke out throughout Cuba.

I remember my parents driving from Cardenas to Havana that day, and people cheering along the roads, Cuban flags waving everywhere, and my parents along with most Cubans, cheering the end of the Batista regime.

Then the executions started, almost immediately. Under the leadership and direct control of "El Che"!

We departed our homeland on February 22, 1962!
