Attend Service
Romeros Revisit Colombia, South America
By Mrs. Lucille May Romerc
with Clint Fuller
A memorial service was held
tor Major Paul V. Romero In
Bogota, Colombia on July 5,
1966. Major Romero was
killed In an automobile ac
cident on June 12, 1965 In
Peru, Argentina. Major Ro
mero's family, consisting of
his wife, the former Lucille
May of Franklin County, and
their five children, were In
vited to the services.
"We flew from Miami to
Bogota on June 22 by Colom
bian Air Force plane, re
turning August 1 by the same
plane. We lived in Bogota In
1956-1958. Paul was with the
United States Embassy during
that time. He was Advisor to
the Military Police."
, The Romero's five children
are Larry, Ann, Gall, Shirley,
and Stevle. "Our 'son,
Anthony, was born, died and
Is burled In Bogota. Shirley
was born there In 1958."
"While In Bogota, we were
guests of General Juan Rojas
Ruano and his family. The
children had some difficulty
since they found It necessary
to converse In Spanish. They
particularly enjoyed the
nieces of General Ruano, and
gradually became accustomed
to the local foods, especially
the fresh tropical fruits. They
liked the five meals a day,
also, with the "onces at 10
a.m. and the "media dlas"
at 4 p.m."
Life Is more formal In Bo
gota. "Larry and Stevle wore
shirts and ties. The girls
wore dresses, never slacks.
The children welcomed the
days spent at the Fuano flnca
(farm) In the tlerre callente,
about two hours from Bogota.
They made good use of the
swimming pool."
Schools operate from Febru
ary to November In Colombia.
"The children studied with
the Ruano nieces and visited
their former school that
Larry, Gall and Ann attended
when we lived there. The
teachers gave the children a
tea and Invited In some ol
their former classmates."
The Romeros spent several
days In Sogomoso, north ol
Bogota, called "The Pitts
burgh of Colombia," where
the Romeros were treated to
a tour of the steel mills.
The visitors were shown the
making of barbed wire from
the furnaces to the finished
product. "We saw all of this
at night and It was beautiful.
The steel Is red hot and Is
worked In tray-llke flooring
where you can look right In
on It." Major Romero worked
with officials of the Pazde Rio
mill letting up a security sys
tem In 1957.
The Romeros lunched with
the Governor while In
Sogomoso and attended the
Festival of Steel, with the
accompanying beauty queens
and street dancing. They
visited Tunja, capital of the
nonartmento of Boyaca and
> visited Lake ToU, the most
famous trout lake In Colom
bla at 10,000 ft. altitude.
"We returned to Bogota for
the big Dla de Independencla
on June 22 and witnessed the
big parade and attended sev
eral official functions. Cbe of
these was the Military Police
Anniversary celebration,
where we were honored
guests."
"From B)gota we crossed
two ranges of the Andes Moun
tains to visit Call. We passed
through all the coffee growing
country and saw some very
beautiful banana trees planted
In rows beside coffee plants.
This gave shade needed to pro
duce the famous flavor of
Colombian coffee."
"In the famous Cfeuker River
Valley, we saw the most beau
tiful farm land. Large plan
tations, using the latest farm
ing methods similar to those
used In the UnltedStates, grow
cotton 8 to 10 feet tall and we
found It still blooming at the
top while the bolli were white
toward the bottom. The raw
cottAn seemed to have a more
silky (eel than our local cot
ton."
The Romeros visited the
Manuellta Sugar Farms and
factory and noted that the com
pany furnishes llvlngquarters
for the workers, Including -
churches, theaters, grocery
stores and the like.
In the valley where the sugar
factory Is located, many crops
are grown. Most are the same
as grown here In Franklin
Cbunty.
"IXrlng our travels, we
usually stayed In homes of
friends or In military clubs.
The children loved our chauf
feur, Gama, who was so pa
tient with their lack of Spa
nish."
"I was surprised and happy
to see the growth In Colombia
since we were there ten years
ago With the fall of Dictator
Komeros In Garden

sident John F. Kennedy and
his wife, Jackie. Pictures of
the two may be seen on walls
of restaurants and homes all
over the country. Integotawe
saw the Urbanization Kennedy,

"While In Bogota, we at
tended the retirement of
General Ruano, the first
Colombian General to retire
and keep his desk, office and
secretary. He will continue to
be Sub-chief of all Military
Industry. He will receive more
pay as a civilian than as a
General. All In all It was a
wonderful vacation. The
people made It unforgettable."

the Allied Armies, 1965. The
