José Genoíno's life covers the trajectory of the Brazilian left over the last
half century. Born to a poor family in a small town in Ceará, Genoíno wore shoes
for the first time when he was fifteen years old. A priest helped him get an
education and IBM offered him a chance to enter a management training program.

I am still here, this time in Charleston, South Carolina. I arrived here yesterday, the 17th and will leave today to begin the journey across the big pond.
"As for GenoÃno, he says "if they ask me what I am today, I reply: I am a democrat and, after being a democrat, I am a socialist." Marxists often aspire to combine theory and practice in their lives. GenoÃno has done it."
While I do not know his whole life story from what I read here, I admire him for his will to change. He is a social democrat in the making although he is not yet willing to admit that fact.

A surprise to get your message. Thought you were already on the high seas. Will you be sailing around the Cape or through Suez? Have a great trip. Merry X-Mas and New year to you too.

Well, his boss changed to the right and may be he will too. I guess it depends on which direction the wind blows.
I am sure by the time you return from the ME, you will have more topics to catch up with.Hope you are taking plenty of reading material with you. All the best and smooth sailing.

Another resident of Quixeramobim besides Genoino, Tenente Sobrinho, a true patriot who did much for the NE in the area of aviation.
Wonder if Genoino ever met him. Probably took a Dim View of tenentes.
