To the editor:
We travelled with the San Francisco Art Alliance four years ago to Havana. I can’t remember a more exhilarating trip. We were treated each evening to dinner at an artist’s home. The art was astonishing in its freshness. It was art that called out for an association with the United States. Every artist “dreamed” of a time when there would be normalized relations.
Being some of the few citizens who were allowed to travel freely, they were sophisticated explorers of the larger world. Hands down, their love for America was resounding. I am hopeful that we can extend the hand of true friendship to this country that is so eager to join the 21st century and all that capitalism has to offer.

To the editor:
I enjoyed reading the first installment in the Statehouse Report concerning your recent Cuban trip, and especially appreciated the photos. I actually went to Cuba in May 2014 on a Road Scholar sponsored trip, and wrote a synopsis of my experiences shortly after returning.
