Dear Editor,
To Anna: once again, thank you !
!
I went to mi casa in Conchas Chinas
for a couple of weeks ...I took your advise and went
to Once Upon A Time ...WOW ! ! That is the best ever...
Very Nice People !
I also tried Encanto, again SUPER
! ! I never would have found it on my own. Thank You
! !
Pie In The Sky is also very good,
but I had been there before. The lady who works there
(Owner?) had some interesting comments on the new footbridge
(which is, I guess, dead in the water). Another Boondoggle
! !
Jay
Dear Jay,
I’m glad that you agree with my “opinions”
and thus enjoyed the offerings in both locations. (By
the way, I too enjoy Pie in the Sky.)
With regard to the footbridge, the lady is right. Please
see the separate article in this issue on that topic.

Dear Editor,
I have a very, very old watercolor
signed by Lepe. Is there a way to know whether the artist
of the watercolor was Manuel or Rodrigo?
I have heard that Rodrigo always
signed his work R. Lepe, but I do not know. Can you
help?
Thank you.
Bob Regoli
Dear Bob,
According to our sources, what you heard is correct.
Rodrigo does indeed sign his works “R. Lepe”.
The Ed.
Dear Editor,
A couple of months ago, I happened
to read an article in the “Voice” I believe.
It dealt with the killing of 80 felines from the Island
of the Rio Cuale.
Being an animal rights activist for
17 years, 10 in Tijuana and 7 in Vallarta, and an animal
lover at heart, I became irate and frustrated a few
days later when to no avail could I find out what had
happened.
I went to talk to restaurant owners
and waiters on the island. No one knew anything - total
hermetism, some were even rude to me. Finally a gardener
said he saw some people come with boxes, grab the cats,
as most are gentle creatures, stuff them in boxes and
take them away. He inquired, only to be told that the
cats were taken away to be “cured” (none
was sick) and would be returned with a collar around
their necks. No one has ever seen them again!
Do we have a gas chamber in Vallarta?
Or were they killed by strychnine? I do not wish this
experience on any living being.
Do we have another killer among us
in Vallarta, maybe by the name of Sr. Perez or Sr. Hernandez
or Sr. Rodriguez? Who is the author of this crime? Is
he “macho” enough in this “macho”
land to step forward and say: “It was me.”?
Or is he afraid to face a group of women volunteers
for animal rights?
I brand him a coward, and dare him
to call me and reveal his identity for there will be
no end to this story - because I will hunt him down
till I find him and then I shall deal with him. I want
to see his face.
My desire to vindicate the death
of 80 innocent creatures burns in me. Yes, it is “vendetta”
as we say in Italy. I want Vallarta to know the killer
who lives among us. Maybe he is someone from the Health
Department and maybe his job places him in contact with
children …something to ponder about.
There was another “solution”
to the cat overpopulation. Why did he not call us? We
do have many foster homes.
Thank you and please publish my name
and telephone number:
Maria Petrone Grassi Morales, tel.: 222-6117.
