We Remember Cuba A Republication of John H. Parker's Yankee You Can't Go Home Again

After thirty years Cuba remains emotional & nostalgic subject for all Cuban exiles & the Americans (Yankees) who called Cuba their home. In WE REMEMBER CUBA, Giles S. Gianelloni, President of Golden Quill Inc. (a publishing corporation based in Sarasota, FL), has brought back John Parker's wonderful stories of pre-revolutionary Cuba, with all the poignancy, humor, & tragedy that marked that special time. Travel back to a world of drama, color & romance told by those who knew it best. (sample chapters follow). HAVANA'S BARTENDERS - "This smuggling paraphernalia was hardly a secret since the favorite hangout of the U.S. Customs men stationed in the Havana Embassy was in Sloppy Joe's." HEMINGWAY - "Hemingway was a loner. He usually could be seen alone in his favorite bar, the old Floridita, where he would occupy the end bar stool on the Obispo side of the restaurant. He was also fascinated with death, whether of man, bulls, big game, or tiny doves & was a dedicated hunter. He would appear at the Cerro Gun Club alone & with a bottle of rum & another bottle of his favorite wine as a chaser, & shoot doves that would be launched into the air from different pits by the attendants." After John Parker passed away in 1989, Giles Gianelloni took over his duties as secretary of the Cuban Claims Association. Among the files received was an original copy of "Yankee, You Can't Go Home Again." This story needed to reach a greater audience to help record & recall for all of us who were fortunate to have lived in Cuba before World War II & work there after this conflict the daily activities, sounds & scenes of that wonderful island & its people. In WE REMEMBER CUBA we hope to keep the hopes & fond remembrances alive.Parker, John H. is the author of 'We Remember Cuba A Republication of John H.
