[R-390] OT JFK assasination...

[Guido]

I was in Spain about to turn 11. We were not tourists there but refugees
from the communist regime in the island 90miles from Key West :>(. That day
at the guesthouse where we were staying in Madrid, I saw the cleaning lady,
a young woman, crying. When I asked what was the problem, I learned that JFK
had been assasinated. I never forgot that. Finally in January 64 we were
given visas to enter the US where we arrived in February 1, 1964 with
totally empty pockets and to start a new life. Untilhe passed away in 2004
my dad always said that this is a great country and I agree 100%.
