The Old Man and the Sea

Last Saturday was the Afternoon Of Remembrance. I just got a group of photos of the event from Art Leonardi. I spoke for my teacher Ric Estrada. Ric’s son Seth was also going to speak but he got their just as I started speaking and I didn’t see him until the break.

Life is strange. Here I am with Seth on my left and one of the Hemmingway boys from Cuba on my right. This gentleman, I forgot his name – shame on me, grew up in the village where the Old Man and The Sea was filmed. He therefore met Ric Estrada because Ric was there with Hemmingway during filming.



“Ernest Hemmingway built us a boxing ring and taught us all to box. We also knew the Spanish fisherman that the story was about. He lived in the village too.”

How strange is that. Seth didn’t even know that his father was a cameraman on Old Man And The Sea and here he meets a cartoonist who knew his father during the filming of that movie.

(NOTE: This post is so late due to my server company, their decided to make a major change to the FTP protocol without telling anybody. It took me 2 days and 10 emails before they would even admit that they made changes. It has been a nightmare.)
