Sounds like your family would know my wife's family in the hills north of SFM. Her grandmother was born in Loma de la Joya, and her father was born in La Joya (Bolo Rosario). The other half of the family is from Jaya. I know many of the Paulinos from Loma de Jaya. My wife (Marisol Rosario) does not recognize your name. Everyone knows everyone else out there. It is a very beautiful part of the country heading up and down the mountains toward Rio Boba.
Me, born and raised in and around Bloomington, IL. Spent a year in Springfield and joined the Peace Corps. Ended up in the DR for two years. Lived in Los Alcarrizos (sp?) for 3 months, Los Naranjos de Castillo for about 4 months and a year and a half in SFM. Had lots of time and the opportunity to visit many parts of the DR. NYC, Washington Heights 4 years, Ridgewood, Queens for 4 years, Sosua (managed a solar energy company) for two years or so, and Bergen County, NJ for the last 3 years. I work in Manhattan and this Cheney annoucement doesn't sit very well with me as I go through the Lincoln Tunnel every day. It's even a little uncomfortable heading into Washington Heights over the GW bridge lately.
