These "Leaves in the Wind" are an attempt to capture bits and pieces of my family history before they fade into oblivion. The one-page essays reconstruct life stories, describe relevant events and places, and highlight underlying social and political settings. Not infrequently, the behavior of common people facing adversity or bonanza result in extraordinary actions. Many such events are captured in this book. Hopefully, the readers -from close relatives to perfect strangers- will find something of interest in this collection. With my grandson in mind, I have chosen a bilingual format to encourage him to preserve an essential aspect of his maternal heritage. Perhaps this feature will prove beneficial to other folks as well. Estas "Hojas al Viento" son un intento de captar fragmentos de mi historia familiar antes de que se desvanezcan en la nada. Los ensayos de una sola página reconstruyen vidas, describen eventos y lugares relevantes, y resaltan entornos sociales y políticos. No pocas veces el comportamiento de personas comunes ante la adversidad o la bonanza produce acciones extraordinarias. Este libro contiene múltiples ejemplos de tales circunstancias. Con suerte, los lectores -ya sean parientes cercanos o completos extraños- encontrarán algo de interés en esta colección. Con mi nieto en mente, he elegido un formato bilingüe para alentarlo a conservar un aspecto esencial de su herencia materna. Espero que esta característica también sea beneficiosa para otros lectores.
