Every time another old, decent, honorable Cuban man dies in exile yearning to return to Cuba, I can't help thinking of my father, who was one of those men. It makes me very sad and very angry, because most of the bastards responsible will never pay for what they did, not in this world, anyway. So many people robbed of their country, family ties, society, way of life...robbed of their heritage and birthright, and for what? For whom? NEVER, EVER FORGET.

20 Cuban refugees arrived yesterday from the town of Puerto Padre, Tamargo's beloved hometown in Cuba. It would have pleased him greatly. The struggle is eternal; the faces change but nothing else changes.

One of our great ones has passed. Doing a search on the internet I came up with this. This is how those in charge across the straights see him. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria.

TAMARGO, AgustÃn (1924-...). TenÃa ideas marxistas en su juventud cuando trabajÃ³ en el periÃ³dico Noticias de Hoy. ColaborÃ³ en los diarios Tiempo en Cuba, Avance y la revista Bohemia. MarchÃ³ a Estados Unidos en 1960 y desde entonces ataca a la RevoluciÃ³n por las emisoras y periÃ³dicos de Miami.

Sir:

Your update omitted that Tamargo worked for the Cuban Communist Party newspaper Hoy and later Tiempo, which was the organ of the Revolutionary Socialist Movement. The El Nuevo Herald mentioned these publications but not their political affiliation.

Back in the 80's, once a week, my wife and I would have dinner with my father at El Trianon when it used to be on 8th street. Agustin was a frequent visitor as well. He would join us at our table to discuss Cuba and politics with my dad. He was a true patriot and a gentleman. He will be missed.

Val,

You and I should definitely send a corona to the funeral seeing as how he probably died after hearing our attempt at a radio show.

Yet another example of the cruel injustices of this world: Castro should have disappeared in time for Tamargo to return to Cuba, as he always wanted and intended to do. Rest in peace.
