council maybe they should thank dan i don't know but man he needed good grades. but we don't have a decent pass along. that we have one really this is a dam on the beach so he gave me a check. in order to notice. and that's why i haven't ever seen. on october 14th $953.00 i went into the countryside with a bicycle and some cattle and i saw

a convoy of cars coming towards me. hey stand back get off the road. things were very authoritarian back then so i guess somebody important was coming live and i. told her i was working at my office in the castle. and suddenly i'm not orions franco is here i said sister what are you talking about franco yes she said franco is here so we went up to the keep and there he wants franco was looking around and suddenly said could you please tell me where the salado reverse. commute and i said it was there behind those trees. ok ok he said and that was it he looked around a while and then said ok very well. from the left and everyone was wondering what he was looking for and why he had come to wrote. what we had already read in the newspaper. that spain had signed

a treaty with the united states and what it was all about. is spain was not in any condition to negotiate and this would become obvious in the agreements it signed because they did the country a lot of damage. great. you're . looking. at a foreign country attacked the base would have to defend it and defend the american . led light but listen if you have the most impressive firepower in the world and aircraft and atomic bombs because there were atom bombs here what are we going to defend for you. know i'm alive and then i was out there ok.

right here then free to. anyone out of my father at a place on a plot of land near a computer. be used to store 4 or 5 girls of one there to sell every year my eyes were swollen from crying when they drove me off our land and i was 17 years old and they told us we had to go and we left the doors open and all our stuff there and nearly killed me. out of me. where there was a huge upheaval and hit everyone hard some people took their own lives hang themselves and so on but the most remarkable thing was that nobody realised there were alternatives that only came later you know they put. it would be media i remember. in the day i saw the 1st american jeep when i started

surveying the area you know i was looking out my columns and watched the monster drive into a pond and sink if you need anything to do. about it i'm not a man my friends used to catch mackerel for a living. one day we were at. the 5 of us and a big guy came into the bar and said hey guys do you know where we can find some workers around here do you want to work so we started building the jetty. after we'd finished a dutch engineer i'd met asked me that they mean antonio do you want to join the navy. i didn't have any more work so i said i don't have any papers here he said it

doesn't matter my uncle is the commander do you want to join that i said of course man who doesn't you know so i was assigned to a tanker shipping oil from iraq to the war ships in codis. this was during the draft sell the draft and if you weren't doing well in school here's a potential to be drafted there's a combination of the missing girl for losing my job and flunking school source that i have to do something and i don't want to go to vietnam so i was walking around downtown portland oregon and the recruiters had a place in the old post office and a staff sergeant set up from his desk. he looked at me and he said you want to join

the marine corps right son i sure do he said and you want to join for 4 years right and i said i sure do and it was one time all day cuba london england name course and here was green berets rota spain are going to spain. so 2 times that i really. did not have to go to vietnam during the sixty's. i came from the united states i was born in a small town of 5000 inhabitants in pennsylvania. electronics was my hobby but my parents couldn't afford to send me to college so i enlisted in the navy. during the final training sessions into spanish air force sergeants told me just go to spain where there are

a lot of pretty girls there by news by which of my head eboni them which are bonita so i said ok then i'll go to spain as luck would have it us where i was assigned to kano post a submarine support ship because i was a specialist in measuring equipment calibration and there was a laboratory on board to service the submarines. that. there were only main streets. way downtown from the base and everything else would you think feel like. special because it was like back home they remind me of. primitive people only different times notice that when i went to town back in america i would i would always back hamburgers but over here. they hate cops you look at all the secret didn't say that it was very old fashioned. i prefer to just say that it was very

different cultures the cars the way people dressed the way the streets and buildings looked like they were all made from concrete and i came from pennsylvania where the houses were all timber and there were forests and things like that possible skase ecosystem see. and they were about $10000.00 american soldiers and civilians and. i remember it like it was yesterday. we were kids playing in the street downtown and suddenly the jets flew over. we were all paralyzed by the noise what the hell was that. took a base because they were small helicopters we called them little devils. my mother was outside doing the laundry as usual and fled into the house yelling flying

saucer. when the americans arrived they were 1st met with rejection mainly because some locals had lost their homes and land and were in a very difficult situation. and any kind of wondering here when the americans arrived they didn't waste any time they threw coins and other stuff into the waiting crowd. almost all of us on the dock bent down and tried to grab some of the better i'll. get you on your arm those were difficult years in spain. it was the post-war period and there was a shortage of everything. so when we kids saw the americans in the street we ask them for money to set up a center. and they say the same person said. give us koreans are.

candy or something because i could imagine that this was the tactic the americans used to build good relations with the spanish people and influence i mean they also . represent more. than all right you by all the forces of world war 2 we can strike anything. less. than any time you want you know. true love us or that wrote the road to the base played a very important role in the cold war because it was on the atlantic and also very close to the entrance of the mediterranean that many there any silent mobility to use in the list of missile submarines the most survivable element in our nation's. palermo's nuclear submarines can carry up to 16 missiles with a maximum range of approximately 424500 kilometers that was part of this little

system from the usa it would have been too far to retaliate if the soviet union attacked. city and pushed the stationing these submarines in wrote and later in scotland made it possible they got them in and discussed the bush. i think it may have been considering it was a place where those ships could come at a place where they could store whatever they want to store i don't know what they're storing their. weapons. have a good air force there's a place where they could do the populations for. if

. a submarine tender there were stationed there. it's just like a a transition in place for europe for the minute training and. for hundreds of thousands of young people find employment each year. growing goodbar they do produce things which make life better in peacetime can be our greatest protection in time of war. the finish quickly became dependent on the military base it created new jobs in the hotel industry taxi business and leisure activities. when i became mayor and i worked to build good relations with the naval base. they were the ones who could help us and the spanish state hardly supported us at all.

at 1st the americans couldn't believe it they said your mayor you must make a lot of money but i didn't do it for money. on the part of me. i did it out of love for my hometown with us to have the town develop quickly womanhood it was a time of great economic growth.

last. year old looking at the workers of the world i focused. on. my father took me to see a movie there was a scene where a plumber went to a house to fix a pipe he turned up in a car and i said to my father hey did you see that the plumber with the car it's a feel my father said it was propaganda the way he said it was simply could not comprehend that a plumber could have a car. and then go fundamentally with a known question. was. 1960 wonderful new.

cars started appearing in town everyone believed that the americans were all 1000000 and so they got. to be getting. like. signals the beginning of a new era. before the 1st manned moon shot like nasa brought the space capsule they would be using for the lunar journey here to test how it landed at sea a plane flew by and started dropping parachutists 14 or 15 of them carrying flashing lights sometimes 2 or 3 men went missing at sea because their lights had gone out today that what could we do you know i took my boat out to sea and stopped the engine i could hear one calling there is that i did that several times that one day they lost 5 men and i found all 5 of them can you imagine how it feels to be 7810 miles from the coast alone. with

a parachute in the middle of the ocean it's incredible only when they jumped into my boat they hugged and kissed me like it was their wedding day. that you guys are going to be. i was born a village california my dad was in the navy and we moved from base to base to base and then we ended up in road a spanking and i just remember getting off the plane and just hit by this wave of heat. it wasn't so much a culture shock for us at 1st because we were on the base and on the base we had all the amenities we were able to to stay on the base for the 1st few months that we were there and then we ended up moving off base. but i got here in 1989 i remember we had a pet and a donkey and her name was chiquita and she scared the hell out of us we had to do a mood test every morning with a banana see she was going to bite us. when getting off base was just how different

things were so there was a lot of places to explore and things to do but the people too i think they didn't have nearly as much as this they do today but i i do think. that that's humility i think i mean in people being so friendly and reaching out even though i don't have much what i have i will give you and then are made her name was it was anna like so many families that had the maids we kids grew up in schiff we felt like we were all want you know she would come in pension that she can oh well. and she just loved us that's why i would be so nice and my mother loved her as well to. sing when the benefit of the day came into direct contact with american women. that broke the local moral code. all these women had their income something almost

unimaginable for the girls from delta we're talking about the early 1960 s. they could easily obtain certain contraceptives that were not available in spain at the time. that women could do little more than read and write in your. op market lady everything up of the dictatorship that took place in the late seventy's began him much earlier. and he said the little woman in your group. what. i barely last when the base was opened i worked as an assistant to the nurses there one of them mary chisholm became my friend she asked me what my greatest wish was and i said joking i want to go to america on the road so when i actually arrived in new york i was so impressed where am i am i in a theater i'd never let roger before. we were only one evening the anita van we

went to northwood massachusetts in massachusetts. you can fit into their world wide roads and i thought why don't they build roads like this and spank. the excess humanity i looked at her parents' house and went to high school. to do it every week her mother gave me money but i didn't spend it i saved it all. yet all the time i was i know what i mean here they say i want to thank you. i wasn't aware that when i came back to spain i bought my mother a television the 1st one on our street all the neighbors came to watch it the neighbor across the street came to watch a bull fight when she saw the bull on t.v. she ran out of the house because she thought it was going to attack her.

nirvana recorded my brother was a famous bullfighter back then. when he had bought a cadillac and organized a party and you know going to be there i mean i never imagined i'd meet an american so when i saw this guy that i liked him immediately he was well built women don't miss that kind of thing and. we had a very nice wedding we were very well known because of my brother so a lot of people came a bullfight to systematise an american a black man he got a lot of compliments. and i do that if you don't go for it on friday.

saturday. i decided to bring a new thermos look. at your pay because i want you guys he was a nice friendly person but he was coming near. as we moved intensified investigation obscene amount like so anyway he finally got down to what you want to know how much money do you make a month. pay was so happy for him even to take a pay cut he said yes well you know you can't can you promise me you take a very. quick look at the own up to the i remember a part of the golf course was almost in the village so we kids used to go there i don't know there was a barbed wire fence there but there was 30 centimeters between the wires so we could slip through and. no. loss. and we told

each other if the americans catch us. they'll shave our heads and make us play the drums in the hot sun till we drop it's not without miley that. it was a whole different world for us back then but there was a big gap between the backwardness in spain at that time in the american standard of living at school around the. planet that's now when we went on banks it was like being in an american movie because what we saw in the navy is really wants their way of life. a lot of people when they played baseball they set up stands and we kids would go there and maybe get a pack of cigarettes or a beer. and they were like things from an alien world.

difficulty and we would have a 4th of july we should have forces here we had a rodeo and we had a big rodeo right across from the drive in theater and that's where we would invite spanish to come on the base and experience the slice of americana with us just as they would share the feria with the americans so it was very cool that cultural exchange. supermarket symbol of the high standard of living in this country today. and that is what interested the people in the most were the products in the so-called navy exchange the commissary which was actually the americans department store which the navy exchange just wanted to sell as much as possible they didn't

care if you were american or spanish however they grew out of you severely in front of the base did. they checked us like they were running a customs checkpoint to come and. they had magazines like penthouse and so on which we didn't have and sports magazines everything you can imagine every brand of tobacco a huge selection of food the meat for example was delivered from germany in refrigerated trucks it was fantastic meat if you could afford it. if. there was some american products that you can buy everywhere today but at the time chocolate bars and cookies as well as rape and sunglasses were very popular in town the people who had access to the base bought them in large quantities and then sold them out of their garages illinois indiana name. though i always asked 1st i did get a lot of things from the base here. i went so far that one day an american

commander his name was captain yang said to me father if you go on like this and take everything with you will have to swim back to america. i took everything i could people who know me knew that i didn't keep anything for myself it was all for the people of wrote. me one day the chaplain told me he wanted to buy a stereo for a friend but he didn't dare take it off base because the civil guard would confiscated he asked me to pick it up for him i said sure so he bought it on the base and brought it to me i told him to put it in the car next to me he said but how will that work they'll see the packaging authentic i told him just put it there because i'm going to tell them the truth as i drove to the gate the civil guard stopped me and asked me what i was carrying so i said i'm smuggling their reaction

was oh you're always making jokes father and they let me pass. him in. think. the amount of the my brother at a record player there was very rare in spain back then it came from the base. philco the american brand of philips i loved music bonnie are now mostly good. but i was mainly influenced by a black man who was married to a woman from toronto. his name was chase. he owned a bar chases place. he played bass guitar and i used to sit there and listen to. people and apparently he noticed that and that i loved his music and so he used to give me all the records he didn't want anymore.

and that's how i started listening to blues jazz rock and all this other new music . he told us i mostly. really used to look after the soldiers overseas to make them feel at home records went on sale there at the same time as they did in stores in new york or chicago or london. and my friends used to buy them and then go home and listen to them until the cows came home. because like a look at my home of. the radio station to which we still have today if r.t.s. . back then they actually played great music trout in that was picked up throughout the area that could be received just this is as it is today and i believe that's the same thing that happened when england played music from the bases and it was heard throughout back in the fifty's back in the sixty's that everyone would pick

up on the nickel my gosh this is great this is music we can't hear or get anywhere else and they started the station and rode a december $5960.00 and they started out with just some radio and then they added tell uncertainly. welcome once again to america's pop because this is a debate field and i'm here to bring you a half hour of entertainment news a good musician. listening to the best radio station was like a martian was talking to us there was music everywhere you went and wrote and. you'd be walking down the street and going somewhere and suddenly you heard bob dylan on the radio and the will dilute the 1st time around yourself who the hell is that you are going this was an incredible stroke of luck for our village we could hear new releases a push of a button. but took much longer for them to arrive there than in other parts of the

world if at all you could get out of the temple you have to consider the beatles everybody loves the beatles and they are always coming up with new stuff as well and chana stop playing and iron butterfly rolling stones the doors sprain somebody love the supreme. gosh jimi hendrix. and all the base housing you can walk in a court or you sure use a moving cranked out of one stereo you would hear jimi hendrix out of another stereo you would hear scarlett santana abraxas coming out of another stereo so definitely the rock n roll. must

win for them into our main hobby as teenagers with music them into them and one thing led to another we tried to form a band. we were very young back then maybe 12 years old and i played guitar and i took a classical guitar and put steel strings on it they cut my finger tips and the bass player simply removed 2 strings from a classical guitar leaving just for them both our drummer made his drums from detergent cartons of the which he cut to size and then covered with course the paper. this is one of the. other component is one of the members of the band the radar's was a carpenter a cabinet maker a very good craftsman. he made my guitar neck by hand and cut out the body with

a saw. and i could have. just wondered if i was 14 when i arrived here and my mother told me don't go down i'm going to do something not. the sort of money for something that when there were other ways to get to school then what we defied our parents and always walked along the avenue to san fernando which was busier than all the other streets in the city and the market because of that we had. to actually consisted of 2 different towns one along. very traditional and the other a long avenue to something under very american that's where the american bars and casinos were all of. it on the together under this so. there was this girl from london her name was janet it. was she was pretty dressed in

a way we weren't used to her and roger. binny and we and we were bound she was very funny in a mini skirt. and a kind of fur jacket and if i get the most freaked out she was the real thing you're going to. play. but if you arrived here in december 917 i had no more than 5 pounds in my pocket and i remember my parents saying to me what are you going to do for a living what are you going to do and the next day i started working at the train as a cat in the back over. here which was so many i remember saying to my mother it's like the las vegas of the southwest . and there were people of all colors on the street motor was pretty colorful. there was a lot of partying and there was a bar outside of course that was let's say a bit illegal you see. right there was

a tiny new york i never slept. trying to involve the locals but it didn't work out maybe because of the double standard of life there. they're looking for probably true. drinking. fighting. one day i came out of the library and saw and i will never forget this a long queue of men in front of a brothel in the avenue just on fernando my friends told me that we should stay home and not go out while the 6th fleet was in town. and that you know which of the street was full of women on both sidewalks as they waited for the soldiers to come off base those who were granted leave because they did not get it at the same time

there are about 6000 of them will imagine that 6000 young men in their twenty's in a small town and when you think here don't you know we're. losing a lot of men given it was the. fact that if you fail. because every time there's a war we're going to relive these very taken you're. here one day we got a letter from the commander of the 6th saying several members of his crew were infected with the neural disease. this in the. us with. the american ambassador biddle duke even came to. ask me what's going on here now. i said nothing's going on sir show you everything here. so i took him to the bars on the 2 cabarets and that's all there is an. that's all there is mr do. now ok he

said and left what was it. he said you know. prostitution brought a lot of money into the town. the local authorities saw right as a violation of religious morality and set up a commission to protect women both locals and outside as from what they said were bad influences. kaitlin and if. you know might i judge from seville send me a letter you want he said you and i could work something out there are too many prostitutes and. his solution was to throw them all in jail i replied that i had a different strategy to marry them off married a lot of girls almost all of them 2 americans. i don't know any of them who married a spaniard you know only one of. you

american born. arab soldiers sailors civilians were college boys you were killing your own people and yourself not with. with automobiles. we were always warned keep out of trouble don't talk about politics don't molest women and don't do anything else that isn't completely proper for syllable shots but of course there are a few bad apples in every basket right. there always a few boys who cause trouble in town once in awhile. almost get the best and quite look out on a scandal when she caught. she'll be found. for a month. or more of course i remember one incident as the americans were celebrating their independence day some drove in from the beach. completely drunk.

in question. there was a man with 3 children i'm talking one time or he took he said. and doesn't cause their car came off the road and crashed into the donkey with the 3 children and killed them all. you can't imagine the outrage this caused interest . since you're a member of the armed forces some will be under military control until the trial yes or. yes he and his children were buried the next day and the navy compensated their mother by giving her a job on the base and the case was never heard again. probably see that. we the jury find the defendant not guilty.

if you look forward. to it that's all you had to do 30 days. to make them happen when frank would die that we were just told hey just go about your business as usual if you see protester you see anything happening just go about your business and and stay out of trouble. you. don't help just me. everything good. and the. good thing

good about. you'll. bring. about nothing. when the ships left but i was left high and dry and. you could tell they weren't here anymore we've lost so many jobs it's not a good thing to live in a mystery to me on the minute after i stop driving taxis i started to work in a bodega hired my own business and sold mine on the base i had an idea and i could go in and out as i wished i don't know what it's like there today i don't go there anymore you know i'm been there for 40 years the place they and only anyone anytime you. tip if you book the town's cultural roots had almost been lost. later about 30 years ago the old identities started to resurface again people were looking for their own traditions again. the fairy. festival of

the virgin carmen festival and all these things that had been forgotten at that time have now returned and we even have 14 churches in the city again we've got the vehicle if you. for me this is the really interesting the greatest culture shock for me because i grew up here from 8 was not coming here it was going back it was going back to the united states that was my culture shock because i went back and 16 years old and i go oh my goodness going back to my uncle i didn't know what to expect i didn't remember for me spain was home in experiencing other cultures that you see how different you are and it's a good louisville home but if we went to a town nearby it seemed alien to us quite different from our own. it was a great time it was a magical place wrote a spam back that was they say a bubble of fishbowl but it was very special that was a beautiful time period and in this town and even the early eighty's but yeah

everybody speaks from the golden years and there's soissons kind of like a misty foggy memory there she should have been here in the sixty's and seventy's. because of looking back at the reasons 1st. one is like music i mean your. one was a big surprise a. big disappointment. info. minutes.

this is coming to you live from. there for the burial of the assassinated general. a huge funeral is taking place in his home city of tens of thousands of people in attendance. of the bushfires an appeal for funds to help save their unique wildlife the government warns the danger is.
