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.

No pocas veces el comportamiento de personas comunes ante la adversidad o la bonanza produce acciones extraordinarias. Este libro contiene m ltiples ejemplos de tales circunstancias.
