Born in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Moved to New York in the early 60s. Where I lived for about 14 years before moving to Europe and travel extensively for 10 years working teaching English, Spanish & Dance (primarily Jazz Dance and ocasionally Ballroom Dance in different countries. After my return to the US I started working as an interpreter for the Courts, Doctors and Attorneys for the last 20 years.

It looks good I thought but I had not taken into account that because of the color of the yarn would probably look disgustingly dirty in a very short time so I took it up and after unravelling it I ended up with a bunch of balls of yarn of considerable sizes. This being my first endevour in the type of thing
