So that when I came from Panama... my family was exiled in 1973 and they went to Miami.

I'm aware that not all kids can pick up and fly to Panama. I'm very lucky.

I was born in Panama, the Republic of Panama, on July 16, 1948 in Panama City, in an area called San Felipe.

Once when I was a fugitive, I was working for a law firm in Denver.

I was in Shanghai when the Japanese invaded China. I was there in Shanghai when, the morning after Pearl Harbor, they seized Shanghai.

I do remember being in high school and trying to go to an Outlaws concert, but I was too drunk and ended up in trouble with the police at some truck stop on 95 in Connecticut.

I was in prison for a charge in Texas, murder one. Back in the '70s in Texas, I was there. I heard the shot. I was in the car.

I was a policeman for 18 years.

When I was in the navy, I wanted to go to Paris and the Academie Julian. I never did. Mexico City took me instead.
