In case you’ve forgotten, or are too young to remember, Armando Socarras had his 15 minutes of fame back in the 1970’s 1969 when he hitched a ride to freedom in the wheel well of an Iberia DC 8 heading to Madrid from Havana. It’s an incredible story; recounted for us by Jose Reyes in this weeks edition of the Cubanology Bi-Weekly. He and Alfredo from El Cafe Cubano are interviewing Mr. Socarras tonight at 8:30 PM EST, on the Blog Talk Radio show, “Speak Your Mind.” The call in number for the show is 646) 915-9812. Don’t miss this chance to hear Armando talk about his daring escape to freedom!
