Just passing through collecting and verifying information for my book of family memories "Love and War in Cuba."
My mother, her sisters and my own sisters attended La Sagesse, Catholic Girls School, in diverse times stretching perhaps the late 1920s to 1948.
My brother Lionel (now deceased) and I attended St. Austins School across the way for a time at the end of WWII and a little later. Classes were held in the old building, and Mrs. Jones was the headmistress. I was expelled for resisting telling on one of my fellow students....and went on to attend St. Edwards,
This apparently did little harm because eventually I became a professor at Oregon State University, in the US...
My mother Leonela (Lela), and her sisters Manuela, Bitina and probably Lucia attended apparently traveling by tram (the 'green goddess') from the Cuban consulate where grandfather Calixto Garcia-I~niguez Enamorado was consul general from the late nineteen twenties to the middle nineteen thirties.
Aunt Bitina would tell me about throwing pennies at the knees of the boys that bothered them...
Lionel and I would pass that cricket club each school day as we came from Cooper Avenue,
