[What did he teach you? You said he taught you a lot of stuff?]

How to raise the animals, like the pigs, chickens. I used to give the food to the pigs, clean their "corral"--they call it "corral" in Puerto Rico--and give corn to the chickens. When they used to lay their eggs, we used to take their eggs. If a chicken stays on her eggs too long, it makes them hot and they won't be no good no more. He taught me a lot. He taught me a whole lot. He taught me how to cut bananas down from the trees, how to get oranges. It was an experience. A lot of experience. There's a lot of people who are raised in New York--they don't get the opportunity the way I did. You learn a lot of things from when your mother was young, and when your grandfather was young--back in those days. But I learned a lot. People told me it was going to be boring, I'm going to suffer. I didn't suffer. I learned a lot. If I go over there next time, I'll know what to do. Not like some other people that go over there and don't know nothing about farms and all that.

[And do you often think of your grandfather?]
