MY HERITAGE

WHERE I COME FROM

Hola, My name is Horty Rexach and just so you know, I was born and raised in Puerto Rico.

My parents met and married in New York City in the 1930’s.

They were from a Beautiful Island of Beautiful People in the middle of the ocean. surrounded by water.

Oh! … and we are Americans!!

Yes, American Citizens!
We speak Spanish and English as well as Spanglish!

Our little island, surrounded by big water, contributes more service members per capita than any other state in the union. We have astronauts, scientists, a Supreme Court Justice, Medal of Honor recipients, legendary sports figures, scholars, Oscar winners actors and actresses, internationally known musicians, and many, many more distinguished citizens who call our little beautiful island their Mother and Father Land.

We are a GORGEOUS and an interesting mix of Native Taíno Indians, Spaniards, African and other European blood that gives us our incredible drive to survive.

I’m Puerto Rican and I’m damn proud of it!!!

THE RED DOOR LANDMARK

This is a picture etched in my mind and my heart.

Many a’times did I walked through it.

Imagine all the history … go back in time!

Many, many people have gone through that door.

In the past, one was able to drive the car through old San Juan, drive through the door and go out to the main streets.

It has now become a beautiful promenade for folks to stroll and enjoy their visit.

It takes me back!

“The red door, where dignitaries were permitted to enter Spanish San Juan’s walls”

The red-painted, heavy, wooden doors of the San Juan Gate, the only surviving original town gate. Built in 1520, this gate provided access to the wealthy and the Spanish dignitaries disembarking from ships.

Less prominent visitors used one of the other five gates that are no longer in existence.

Antonio Rodríguez (EFE) reviews the documentary film by Sonia Fritz

“15 faros de Puerto Rico” – 15 Lighthouses of Puerto Rico.

He writes, “The lighthouses of Puerto Rico are the nineteenth-century legacy left by the Spaniards before the change of sovereignty from Spain to the United States in 1898.

These historical structures represent the desire to incorporate the Caribbean island into the era of modernity in the nineteenth century.”

We ALL are ONE!!

I'm originally from Puerto Rico. I was born in Santurce and raised in Rio Piedras. I currently live in Florida - since 1999. I have a doctorate degree in Medicine; completed in 1976. My Internal Medicine specialty was completed in 1979. Worked for Puerto Rico's health system until 1985. At this time, I'm happily retired after working for the federal government for almost 28yrs. I also worked for the government of Puerto Rico from 1979 through 1985 .... for a total of almost 40 years as a physician. I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news - reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected. My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability. Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!! The future looks bright and promising!!!
