Hi Monti. Greetings from beautiful Sandy Springs, GA! My father-in-law is Boricua. Quick (sorta) funny story. His parents grew up within 5 miles of each other near Rincon. But they didn't meet until they were in New York, searching for a better life! They found it and each other, then moved to Southern New Jersey, where they had a small farm. My father-in-law grew up in the same small town I did, except his was in New Jersey and mine in North Georgia. You're a rockstar! Glad I can say I knew (well, I met you anyway) when...

Another one that *is* actually funny.. My wife, who doesn't speak more than 5 words of Spanish, tried to register for Spanish 101 in college. They looked at her last name (Alvarado) and said "Yeah, right!"
