PERSPECTIVE ON CUBA by Abe Ferdas

Abe, emigrated from Cuba in the   50's with his family, After the Batista era.

Abe told us a little about their life in Cuba and how his family manged after they arrived in the US.

In the late 50's the US was heavily invested in Cuba. Most cane sugar came from Cuba. It was their major crop and while the companies and the politicians were making money, most of the people were poor and illiterate and had little medical care.

The revolution changed that and now the people get an education and medical care is universally available.

At the collapse of the USSR, Cuba made an alliance with Venezuela for oil and in return Cuba provides / provided them medical care. With the fear of a collapse of the government of Venezuela, Cuba has aligned with the US.

This is a work in progress. The embargo rules are still in effect.  Some items to be worked out are the handling of the US companies assets seized after the revolution.

Chapel of the 4 Chaplans - Club Program

Lou Caveliere tell us about the 4 Chaplains and the 4 Chaplains Memorial Foundation:

Four U.S. Army Chaplains gave up their life jackets and prayed together when their transport ship, the U.S.A.T Dorchester was torpedoed eighty miles south of Greenland on February 3, 1943. The Chaplains came from different faiths and backgrounds.

John P. Washington was a Catholic Priest from Kearny, New Jersey, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode was a native of York, Pennsylvania. Clark V. Poling was a a minister in the Reformed Church in America at the First Reformed Church in Schenectady, New York. George L. Fox, a decorated World War One veteran, was a Methodist minister in Gilman, Vermont.

The Four Chaplains Memorial Foundation’s vision is to impart the principles of selfless service to humanity without regard to race, creed, ethnicity, or religious beliefs.

The Four Chaplains Memorial Foundation exists to further the cause of “unity without uniformity” by encouraging goodwill and cooperation among all people. The organization achieves its mission by advocating for and honoring people whose deeds symbolize the legacy of the Four Chaplains aboard the U.S.A.T. Dorchester in 1943.
