Calling all CC Cubans

Alright guys I've been thinking about doing this an awfully long time and now I got some time to make it happen. No matter what date we pick someone will not be able to make it so I'll pick any date. Let's get together Saturday, August 29th for a good old fashion Cuban pig roast. All CC Cubans are welcome, every single one. I would say leave your Cuban egos at the door but what fun would that be. It's one of our best traits, she said.

I'm looking for Choco, George, Gina and Duly G., all their friends, Eddy and Tony Garcia, your brother and cousin, Panadero (he was your cousin right?) and your friends, Eddy just found Danny Medina, cool. Danny I hope to see you again. Raymond, of course, and William, the Twins, and the whole Garcia Gang. I hear some people know where Humberto is and Pilly(SP?) and their sister? Noemi, Marita, etc., Alina Enrique (where the F are you) and Marcia! Jesus, Pepito's cousin, and my old elementary school friends Norma, Chabela, Mario, Soraya Blanco (now Soraya Newton, I think), Maite, and her cousin, Barbara (her father, and Jesus' uncle, was the Cuban barber on Sepulveda). You get the picture. All living Cubans are invited. This is OUR Reunion, not mine, I'm just the facilitator, consider me Radio Bemba (for this event only, don't need a new nickname).

I recall the last name Leon, but forgot his first name (perdoname) and surely I recall the name Campos and Capas and the Prietos, Rolando, Leo and Maricela. My best friend Lulu will be there and it would be great to see Maria Tapias and Adelina Gutierrez.

Those who have gone before us will be remembered fondly. Those of us that are still here - hell we might as well do this in 09 cause ya never know!!

No doubt I'm hoping for the Gringos for entertainment. I believe Tony Garcia knows where Pepito and the boys are (I might be able to find him too).

That's it for now. Sorry about all those I've forgotten. My only family are my children, who will be the only relations I have that will join us (but mostly because I want my son to bring my grandchildren who are 2 years and 3 months).

Next......Cuban please ......

(BTW, Silvana Ferrer, honorary Cuban as well as any others are invited).

How fabulous! I'll be there! I would love to see everybody again, and seeing the Gringos together again would be the perfect finishing touch to a great reunion. I'm in touch with Maria Tapias and Silvana (the honorary Cuban), and I know wild horses couldn't keep them away either. I'll see you there! Chabela

Well...well...well...I guess I should come...seeing as I happen to have a ticket to LA right about that time! Perhaps I could play the piano or something? Oh wait...I don't play the piano or something! Maybe just having the two of us in the same place is entertainment enough...hmmmmm? Can you throw me a token surfer or two? With or without wet suit, makes no difference to me. I am flexible that way. Love you..see you soon. Vegas? Bloody Marys 6:30 AM...watching the sun come up and the jokers run the mile??? Thoughts? Lulu

As an honorary Cuban how can I say no! I'll definitely be there, it will be great seeing everyone again (while we're still young enough to remember who everyone is, and still remember who WE are for that matter). Keep me posted, in the meantime I'll be polishing up my "Coñooooooo!"

I will only go if you can guarantee that Juan Carlos Dominquez will be there and sing Best Of My Love by the Eagles. Don't lie you were inlove with him too. We all werre. Sheeeeesh, even our mothers were. My tia when she found out about Petra.

My husband and I wouldn't miss this for the world. Does anybody know where Luis Leon is? he was a good friend in St.Augustine's. It was great to see Marcia's picture. I'm in touch with Armando Serrano because his kids go to the school where I work, I'll tell him about it and he can tell Jorge his brother. We'll tell Patti Abad (Geneyro/another honorary Cuban). Cecilia, would you be able to get a hold of the Raintree Rodriguez girls? it would be great to see them too. And the Moreras. See you there. Norma

A few months ago I was at a birthday party, where a lot of the old crowd was at including Los Gringos. I look forward to this event.
