Font-Guzmán. The resilience and wonderful sence of humor, even in the midst of devastation and so many challenges, never cease to amaze me.

By the way, I love the musical variety of the Puerto Rican accent in Spanish; and the Puerto Rican accent in English is beautiful and unique. I loved listening to Dr. Jacqueline's accent – it transported me to places of spectacular beaches, mysterious lagoons, lush mountains and laughing people. Of course the topic of conversation was of deep interest to me, too , even though I have heard and studied the history of Puerto Rico, I keep searching for new ways to tell the story in the US so that people can hear and remember it.
