I am re-reading David Rockefeller's autobiography.

And I have all sorts of questions.

Does anyone know of any Rockefeller/RD connection? To Trujillo? Casa Campo? Anything at all? Chase ManhattanBank links?

Thanks,
Sam

Sam: All Ican think of without really digging up a lot of stuff is this:
Rockefeller--Trujillo...I would imagine so, since Trujillo was a very, very wealthy person.
Casa de Campo--Perhaps through the South Puerto Rican Sugar Co., since the Rockefellers had sugar interests in Puerto Rico, and knew tourism through Doral.You might see who Bludhorn bought it from.
Chase Manhattan---well they own it so i suppose there is some connection.

Nobody has gotten lost and died while hiking up Pico Duarte. You are probably referring to Michael Rockefeller who got lost and was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea.

They were on a "rich" diet...:p:p:p:p:p

Oh, that's mean...:(:(:(

I remember that case....

good catch Mirador, but remember the professor from the UCMM (not PUCMM yet) that disappeared up there? Never found and never heard from again. His children say that the army killed him, thinking he was a guerilla....

Thank you everyone, I will look into your tips.

It does seem that Rock bros. Nelson and Laurance did vacation in the DR.

And as much as Nelson enjoyed watching Polo at Casa de Campo, he died in the saddle elsewhere.
