Roberto in Miami
| 15:51 UK time, Tuesday, 2 January 2007
My name is Roberto and I am a US Latin who lives in Miami Florida. There is one thing that surprises many people, that I was born in Ohio [one of the places where there are almost no US Latins]. I am 44 years old and the BBC has been my constant companion since I was 8 years old.
My various trips to Latin America and Europe [as well as listening to the BBC] has proven to me that we are not just citizens of Miami, Florida, USA. We are not just a religion, a race, and an ethnic group, we are citizens of the world and we must take care of our world and accept people for what they are.
My Hobbies have been listening to the BBC [since it is the few bastions of liberty in this turbulent world], Football [Celtic and Manchester United], Basketball [Miami Heat], American Football [Miami Dolphins], Stamp, Coin Collection, World Music [including Latin Jazz, African Jazz, and Baroque/Rennaiscence/Medieval Music].
I discovered BBC WHYS by accident when I was surfing the BBC Websites. After listening to BBC WHYS, I decided to add it as one of my favorite BBC Listening Sites. I do miss Kevin Anderson's analysis and I would like to congradulate Ros, Anu, and Rabiya for their contributions to BBC WHYS.
I am happily married to my wife Marlene since 1992 and I have an 11 year old daughter named Veronica. I have also been blessed that they have been tolerant of my BBC Listening.
I think I have said more than enough. My Best Wishes to BBC WHYS, Its Listeners, and those who read the blogs with a Happy New Year from Miami Florida
Roberto
