I went first to Merrick Demonstration School in Coral Gables. Then we moved to Silver Bluff Elementary around 25th Ave. My sisters were at St. Hughes. My brother stayed in the San Rafael house that was run by Fr. Walsh. My two oldest sisters eventually moved to California to get married in 1964 (to two Cuban brothers, of course) and my dad couldn't bear the thought of our family being separated. The rest, as they say, is history. =) Besos, Marta Hi Tia Mirtha,

I feel the same way as you do. I came to Miami when I was 11 years old. I am now 63 and I already told my sisters and daughter, that the day I die, to send my ashes to a free Cuba. I am very proud to be an American citizen, by choice. I am Carrie's aunt. In 1961, where did you go to school in Miami?. Felicidades Martha, I love your story. I feel the same way as you do.
