Raphael and luAnn are a very nice couple, strong believers and congenial. LuAnn was raised locally..a dad who worked as a construction foreman, mom a public school teacher.
Raphael, born Venezuela, but longtime naturalized citizen here. They lived in Venezuela for a number of years also, but left as the communists there became more oppressive.
I talked with LuAnn on Tuesday evening, during Bible study. She is incredulous, whenever she meets them, she tries to convince today's leftists on the evils of communism, reminding them that she and Raphael lived under communism...but they still blow her off!
