Chapter 16
Tom and Betty came home for Christmas. Suzy spent the holidays moving back and forth.
Jenny came back for Christmas and I flew her family in from California.
Since we had the room, I got Bill to bring down the family and Dad on Christmas, they could not take off until after Christmas Eve.
This is the first Family Reunion at Christmas our family had had for years.
Rick told everyone that he was planning on going in the Army. He is supposed to leave in April for Basic Training. He was going to Fort Lost in the Woods. (Ft Leonardwood)
On the 28th everyone started going home. Elizabeth, Jeri and I were heading for Havana for New Years. Corey had her daughter down for a few days. Joanne had a court date for the right on my royalties for my programs on the 2nd. Besides Suzy needed a few babysitters.
We were staying in the same Hotel with Tom and Betty, our rooms were set up especially for us. Since the biggest Party for New Years was at our Hotel, we were asked to join the President and his wife for dinner and dancing.
The party was excellent. While the dancing in most New Years Eve parties in the States, Is mostly the freestyle dancing that is popular for Rock and Roll. Here the Dancing is mostly Ball Room style. The locals knowing we were all Americans did not really expect us to do much Dancing.
Jeri had been busy teaching everyone the various ball room styles during the holidays. Even Tom wound up Waltzing, doing the Samba, Tango and various Salsa style. The evening was enjoyed by all.
The Cuban President and his Lady talked to us to coming over to the Presidential Palace the next afternoon. They had something to tell us.
When we showed up at the Presidential Palace we had a late brunch, which included Black-Eyed-Peas and Ham. The President told up, his wife grew up in Florida, and she always insisted that we have black-eyed-peas for New Years days.
He asked me about what happened to Castro.
"Mr. President, as you know I was on a plane when Castro was 'electrocuted'."
"I know all about it, what I would like to know is who did the targeting."
"Since you know about the platforms, I have been told I can tell you, that one of the Organization founded by the Bay of Pig Survivors, trained the spotters and they did the targeting."
