Like I told you any of the year the fort and I used to love it cuz that's what you remember living things because remember I never came to the United States seals out till I was fourteen years old. So I spend some time and in Cuba and school and doing my things and I'm really used to love you. Never wanted to come here, but we have to because of the Communist Regime. What do you have in your life that you remember our usual bro myself for being an announcer in, the nectar being in Hollywood and being well-known in Old Latin America and United States in the Spanish Community, end of the English committed. But I seen the promise things that I have a 7 you and your your your

02:23 Your brother. I think that's the most exciting thing for the flight, but part of my life, my brother, you want and you want to mention his name just so you can have it on the food because they are old tradition from this little people from Curacao. That first came from

02:44 Amsterdam and they went to corisande from Curacao. We have to know, we have about a hundred or two hundred, people living all over the United States and Orlando, you know, and saw one Venezuela equal or Salvador, Santo Domingo, and how many people living in there? So a book by one of my great-uncles and Korra Sokka, say his name was John the Paul Lynde says a lot about our front of me. Okay. So if you had any other words of wisdom and you like to pass along to me, what would they be not only to me but to even hurts because everything is something to learn by. There's nothing. Oh my god. Look what God has put me into it. You have to go through it, you know, so are anything that comes to your life? Love it?

03:44 Because sooner or later, you'll notice for you. Again. We will go back and we can, I've been trying to put that in my mind and the happiest time in my life was when, when you people were born. I remember that. I like girls better than than boys.

04:14 Call Aegis. Okay, so now and I want to ask you stuff about o, l o, l o l on your side. Your parents. Where did you grow up? Try to try to go in, like, like the voice in the port Havana Port, it was very difficult because, although they were many good people there and people that work for their living. It was kind of a, you know, that's difficult, San Francisco, but really people calling by bailing, and if you were saying you have to be you, no kind of aggressive funeral and a macho man and it was, it was hard. But it was. Lovely was nice. I started my father-in-law made me started with my mother didn't know how to read or write.

05:03 Their parents were from the north of Spain and they didn't Auto read a ride or do they work, white and blue and green eyes, but they didn't know how to read and write in my mother promised to ourselves that even though she didn't know how to read a ride. She will make me read and write and make me for do something out for myself. And what was your childhood like over there are very hard, very hard. Now that I am not, I am a man that I have 64 years old and I have to go into the life. Life was so hard. So, so hard was very hard, but lovely.

05:43 Lovingly, I wouldn't change it for the world. We had a whatever we can eat, you know, sometimes a little bit more sometimes a little too list, but we love that type of life.

05:55 Do you do you remember any of the stories at that your parents used to tell you from their history, from their background? Because my father, when when he was born, her mother died, and he was raised by her uncle and aunt and her grandmother was queuing. And what was your your father's mother's name was dark and a Frederick schemmel of physicists from Maracaibo. Venezuela went to Cuba to stole the the seeds from the tobacco. Would they still have now in Venezuela? A fabric of that the door Staubach was bold, you a negative black horse.

06:53 And he was in love, you know, he was a blue-eyed blond guy from Germany, and he was very young in the thirties and the girl was like 16, 16, Rosa. And she took it to, to Maracaibo, and she died there. And my father, my, my father's father was your great-grandfather was a doctor in Eaton, in agriculture, Agricultural. And when the Americans water going to be in June in in war with Cuba, they ask for somebody who has many languages. Do you know people in khorasan of 56 languages regular Penny. Anybody? They want to try and send those three, don't have to talk in papiamento in Spanish, in English in Dutch.

07:43 And they ask my my grandfather to go to Cuba to be the sub. Secretary means, Vice Minister Lisa, ministro de agricultura since 19, 1898 to 1933, when he was bad and he came back to Coruscant to die.

He came, my father came in the gate and then 19/13 or 14 from Venezuela to Cuba and they stay there and ever never get out of there, any more killed 1959. When the revolution came in the my father was a civil servant and they wanted to

08:35 2018. Just because when they came to their Ministry, they have the money to pay everybody and they didn't steal the money. Wait, a little bit longer would have been Cuban.
