When I was around eight years old, my summers were spent in Amite with my aunt Dalia and uncle Orlando and their three sons (Orlandito, Omar, and Oscar.) My cousin Orquie spent a lot of time there as well, as she traveled a lot. Sometimes she went to see my mother Celedonia, in New Orleans as well. I was born in New Orleans. My grandfather's name is Armando Labrador, but I think that he had a nick-name with the family as well. His brother lives in California, (I think) and we haven't seen him since my Great-grandmother's funeral. As for me, everyone in Amite called me Ro-been (misprounciation of my name) or Ro-been-seeta. If you are not the cousin, I am thinking of then you have to be close family anyway. If you are my cousin Orquie, then this is too unreal, because I have been wondering about you for years. The last time I saw her was over 10 years ago, but she was always so kind to me and I would love to know that she is doing well. Right now I am living in Prague, Czech Republic, but am going back to the States in January. Please write me
