I don't kow who has said that Cuban was implied in the Spanish Civil  
War. as far as I know it was not Cubans fihting in the Spanish Civil  
War.

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.

Saludos cordiales
