Steven,
I love your preemptive strike, pretty much painting anybody who may have a different opinion as being a "troll."  Nice touch.

I remain very concerned about the many killings, kidnappings, "disappearances," civil rights violations (etc.) that were done under/by Castro, including the reports that there was another roundup of "dissidents" in the hours immediately before Fidel's death was publicly announced.   So if that makes me a troll, then so be it.  I've no reason to doubt that Mary Ann had a pleasant impression of Fidel when they met.   He wanted something from them, and was long known to be capable of being quite the charmer.  Still, I can't help but look at what he's done to that country, and feel a bit less inclined to mourn the man's death.
