good talk

Alberto Gonzalez is Al the benevolent landlord (a tenant who displeased him, he gave the guy's possessions to the GoodWill).  Al is "74" and had a major stroke over the past year, are you going to begrudge him that his Hero is Che?  Al was an officer in the 82nd Airborne for 6 years, have any of you served your Country as well?  Al is descended from Captain Patricio Gonzalez who was given a Spanish Land Grant in what is now New Mexico only a sliver of which they have today although they have the original document.  Che was Basque and Irish (Lynch) and in explaining his son's actions his father said he's descended from Irish Revolutionaries.  I don't know if he was or not, this is what his Old Man said.  Interestingly, Al's wife, the mother of his 3 sons, was Boston Irish.  Al is an Industrial Engineer and made a lot of money, his sons are very successful although none fomented Revolution.  Alberto Korda's picture of Che, "Guerrilleo Heroico," is considered the most famous photo ever.  Shot through the legs the day before and bound sitting in a chair, Che attempted to stand  ...Shoot, Coward, kill the man never the ideal...
