It was 1962 but still a big part of my past.  In other words, it was the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis that consolidated the Castro regime and led to our departure of Cuba.

It all started when the USSR challenged the US by placing missiles in Cuba, or in this part of the world.   

For days, the world waited for a resolution.  We were down in Cuba at the time and my parents recall just how tense every minute was.      

Nevertheless, the world came very close to a nuclear war in October 1962.
