The Spanish Civil War was from 1936 - 1939, Cuban Revolution 1959. On the Spanish Civil war it was some great american people who cames here voluntary to fight against the fascism, if I'm not wrong, Hemingway was one of these, at least he wrote a book "Por quien doban las campanas" (I'm sorry I don't know the English title), after it was a film with Gary Cooper, this film was of course prrohibited in Spain during the Franco's dictature. I've never been in Cuba, I know many people has visited, the people is poor but Cubans are a great people, as well the American, Spanish, or any other in the world. The people is one thing and the political circumstances is another thing. My wife and her family has a Cuban origin and I have heard many things about the Revolution and Cuba, and want visit it too. Beside these comments I think that Tina's sensibility and eye will produce really great images, I'm already impatient to see it, TINA go soon and show us soon your pictures..., finally this is the main reason of the LUG.
