Susy, as promised, I posted my hideaus perm picture. I still can not beleive that my mother did that to me. Promesa es deuda, so there it goes. Carmen

Your Christmas story is interesting. I don't remember anything like that so I must have left before Christmas. The trip was nice, I've never saw the fall colors before. I'm a frugal traveler so it wasn't that extravagant [there's a Micky Dees everywhere]. I've posted a few of the 600+ images taken.

Hi Susy, Boston was great; lots of history. Maine's Moosehead Lake and Lubec Maine were also very nice. The XMASS picture is cool. Are you on the lower right corner?

Hermana Pedro Pan, para hablar conmigo no tienes que tener excusas! Y ahora que estoy tomando mi cafecito de la manana te invito al cambieteo de fotos que he tenido yo tambien desde que empezo este database, pues cuando yo estaba en California mis padres, como para que no me olvidara de ellos porque me puse un poquito aragana para escribirles, me mandaron una caja de fotografias de Cuba, imaginate! Ya no las cambio tanto como al principio, pero en estos momentos voy a poner las del obelisco que lo retrate la semana pasada cuando fui a ver a Candi Sosa, a quien conoci y nos hicimos amigas por un mes esperando el telegrama en la Habana en 1962, y mas nunca vi hasta el Sabado pasado. Carinos para ti -Mary

Susana, I´m sorry for spoiling your mood. I´m using the evening to catch up on readings and thought I would ask. Once again , my apologies. José Antonio.

Susana, on a more serious note, I was reading earlier this evening a chapter in Triay´s book on Operation Pedro Pan and was reminded of you. He was making reference to how life in some of the orphanages turned out to be for some kids. Have you read his book? José Antonio.

Sorry for not getting back sooner; I went to New England on 9/11 and just got back. That's a great pic with all the kids. I couldn't find myself or my sister. I guess we were out of there by 12/25/62. I don't remember that XMASS. My first memory of my foster home-keyed to an event-was when Kennedy got shot. I was in Albuquerque by then. That's a great collage.
