Not all people are monocultural xenophobes.

You never explained what you did to have your mother throw you out of
the house. Where threatening violence upon some family member? Doing
drugs? Maybe it was cheating on those HS final exams and getting thrown
out of HS that was finally the last straw for your mom.


That is pretty funny. I had always wanted to live in Latin America going
back to pre-school years. Since I was bored with school, despite very high
grades, the school advisor recommended a year in another country. That year
turned into an internship at Organización Radio Centro in México City (Check
with Francisco Aguirre, Jr., CEO of GRC or Ramiro Garza Treviño, then PD of
the group, both living and friends) and then another trip to Ecuador where I
ended up buying a station license during my senior year of school and
putting a station on the air (Check for Carlos Guarderas Barba, who now has
an alarm company in Ecuador who sold me much of my technical parts and
supplies, or Larry Cervone, retired former head of Gates Radio in IL who
sold me the studio equipment of Betty Pino at WAMR in Miami who did free
lance announcing for me from '65 to '67 or Herb Levin, former Manager of
WQBA in Miami who helped me get work in PR whent he government went wild in
Ecuador in 1970).

My mother was very proud of my accomplishments.
