Hi everyone,
My name is Kenny Rodriguez, the son of Manuel Rodriguez~Esparra. My father is first cousins with Rafael Esparra. Which would make me a second cousin. I’m so surprised that this man was such a horrible father because my father has always been there. I just called Ricardo and we will speak later on and hopefully keep in touch. But I am also interested in somehow getting to know some of you. I came across this forum in doing some family research. Me and my father have been doing this for an amount of years and we discovered that our family was Jewish. We can trace it through my grandfather and my grandmother (who was an Esparra). The family supposedly converted to Catholism out of fear of persecution some time ago, but the info I found was vague and I’m very interested in speaking with anyone who can shed some light on this side of the family. You can reach me at caddilacken@aol.com

Firestorm 2003
It’s weird experiencing the scary equivalent of “snow days” here. On the news the other night, Marty Levin said, “In the East, we have snow days, and in the West, we have fire and ash days.” My mother pointed out one difference: snow days back east are fun days in winter snowscapes.
