                                  Characters in Tijuana


      My eighth year spent at a cancer clinic in Tijuana was an important, pivotal, essential part of my story. It certainly was the basic part of my personal health, history, and development. 

      But beyond my medical experience in Tijuana, the real stories are about the people sitting there in the waiting room. Probably, most of the times I’ve repeated myself in this volume have been about the people whose paths I crossed in Tijuana. 

      If you're reading this volume straight through, you have already come across some of these stories. If you are jumping around, sampling, just wandering through this volume, probably the way I would do it, you might have missed some of those stories. 


        Here are some places that you can read about these experiences.


The story of my eighth year, here


Stories of the clinic, on page


Kids in Tijuana, here


And and a little indirectly,


 in the story of My Health, here


 and in the collection of wisdom, here



         When I tell my story to myself, these people are some

           of the major characters. I don’t want you to

            miss the stories of these people important to me.
