    yes, I mentioned because pinkboy said Chile had not been to war for 100 years, but there was shocking violence there for a long time. I have a friend who lived in Santiago for a few years, he said the Chilean accent is to Spanish what the Glaswegian accent is to English :)

    Regrets

    I'm so sorry for your loss - particularly the general loss of not having your dad in your life without knowing why. I imagine he wasn't able to cope. amazing that your posting this has led others to reach out to their families (I'm sure more even than those who posted). Thank you for sharing...
