Roberto Emilio Leni

Maybe

I visited Chile, Mexico, Tanzania, all of Europe, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Cuba, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Kenya. In 2001 I was artist-in-residence at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts. I have written over two short story volumes I hope to someday publish in book form. But most special of all after my children were born, I have been loving them, playing, learning, teaching, and growing with them... Yes, since 1980 I have for sure been growing up mostly.

To many to mention. Specially Ms. Trudy Albert teaching me to pronounce the "s" sound correctly on all its many different forms, and including shi... because I remember sharing with her how frustrated I felt about not being understood when all I was asking for was "sugar" at the cafeteria, but pronouncing the "s" sound of the letter as it is done in Spanish. Of course, the three people I remember most are my good friends Meg, Eldad and Diego. Looking back, Gunn was really good to me.
