Quizas llega El Boricuazo a EEUU y el medico que le asignan en el hospital llega a ser Boricua. LOL

Mistake. I was in a hurry. Should read: "no te cagaste en la madre que lo tuvo?". It's always good to be correctly precise. The clearer the picture the better the shot. |

Por casualidad yo en el trabajo unos dos o tres anos atras, me encontre con un tipo Portuques que tenia una compania de construccion. Iba a arrasar una casa para construir una mansion en el mismo lugar. En el tiempo en que estuve ahi me conto muchos aspectos de su vida personal incluyendo que la casa era de su esposa cuando era soltera. El la conocio cuando hizo un trabajo por ella. Se enamoraron y luego se casaron. Me dijo que la esposa es Puertorriquena y cardiologa en Bryn Mawr Hospital en Bryn Mawr Pennslyvania y que hacia mucho dinero. Me invito a regresar en un ano para ver la casa cuando acaba de terminarla. Pues, te digo que vi la mansion y es algo serio. La eso en estilo italiana y es bellisima. Pienso que vale come tres millones de dolares. Viven ahi con los hijos y la "nanny". El lugar se llama Villanova Pennsylvania. Un lugar donde viven los ricos de la area metropolitana de Filadelfia. La moraleja de este cuento es que uno nunca sabe cuando se encuentra con uno que es de la isla. |

Ahora que lo dices, hay una puertorriqueña, doctora en esa área, de una familia bien rica de acá. Estoy tratando de acordarme el apellido. Ella heredó del papá. Le voy a preguntar a mi hemana, a ver si se acuerda... Así es la vida. Tienes toda la razón. Jorge |

A murder, there was a murder...I think someone murdered that woman's father, in that house (I think it was during a robbery)....It made the headlines here in the island, spread out all over the news....It was a long time ago.... |

No la he visto pues estoy "in the midst of" filing my sue. Hoy voy a discutir pormenores del "wording". Películas que te recomiendo (por ahora): Linda Sara 12 Horas La Gran Fiesta En Pza. Las Américas hay un booth, al lado de Brookstone, que tu viejo puede comprártelas (ya que es bueno tener una pequeña colección de ellas). Inclusive hay documentales muy buenos: como el desarrollo y fin del tren en P.Rico, etc. Háblalo con tu viejo. Jorge |

Sosthenes Behn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sosthenes Behn (January 30, 1882 – June 6, 1957) is an American businessman widely known for founding ITT. He held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army. Sosthenes Behn was born in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. His ancestry was German on his paternal side, and French on his maternal side. Behn served in the United States Army and was commissioned a Captain, Signal Corps, on June 19, 1917. He later achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, having served with distinction during World War I. Behn served with the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in France until February 1919. He was given command of the 232nd Field Signal Battalion, Chatteau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Argonne. For his valor in combat, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal (DSM). After his return from active duty serving his country, Colonel Behn co-founded the Puerto Rico Telephone Company which eventually spawned ITT. Behn, along with his brother, Hernan, built the Two Brothers Bridge —Puente Dos Hermanos in Spanish— in San Juan. The bridge links the districts of Condado and Old San Juan. During the war, all of ITT's German holdings were put under German government control. These included a minority share in airplane manufacturer Focke-Wulf, which ITT had acquired through its contacts with German financier Kurt Schröder. After the end of the war, the US authorities returned these assets to their rightful US owner. In recognition of his extraordinary service to his country, Sosthenes Behn is interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. |

El famoso puente Dos Hermanos debe su nombre a los hermanos Behn (Sosthenes y Hernan).
Tengo entendido que la mamá de éstos era una rica, heredera puertorriqueña de apellido Lucchetti. ¿Quiénes eran la familia Lucchetti? Uno de los grandes terratenientes del área del Condado. Antonio Lucchetti fué el fundador del sistema de electricidad de la isla. Por lo tanto, entiendo que el dinero heredado (por línea maternal) a los Behns, fué la base financiera de la ITT World Comm.(famosa por involucrarse en política latinoamericana). Pero,¿cuál fué el rol de la ITT en la campaña eleccionaria de Canciller para la Rep. de Weimar, en la que Hitler salió electo? |
