Joe Green leaves Argentina

...in a short while, our Vice-Chair for the Americas will be winging his way back home from the Paris of the Palmtrees.

We will miss him and his service to us during our crisis.

The newly elected executive committee met with Joe privately in the café of his hotel, the worker occupied and owned, Hotel Bauer ...a choice that I feel befits his beliefs in rights of workers. I was so pleased when I learned of his choice (a hotel that our own Beatrice Murch apparently steered him toward!)

Please believe me that Joe made good use of his stay. He met with Democrats everywhere in Buenos Aires and made special efforts to engage us all above and beyond his duties this trip.

Of all the delegates that I met during the Democratic National Committee Convention, this last August in Denver, Mr. Green was the one with whom I spent the most of all those pleasant moments. I returned to Buenos Aires with the feeling that I had made a friend. Something that continued long past the convention.

Please join me in wishing him a buen viaje, a bon voyage, a good and safe trip, back to the ice and snow of his Canada.

All Democrats in Argentina were served well by his receivership and his commeraderie.

Yours in art and labor,

Yanqui Mike

Having returned to frigid Toronto (-18 Celsius) from sunny Buenos Aires (+30), I want to take this opportunity to say a warm adios to DAAR members and colleagues.

The election is over and the new Executive Committee is fully in place and moving forward with exciting plans for your country committee. I am confident that all DAAR members and the international leadership of Democrats Abroad wish them well.

Best regards,

Joe Green, DPCA Vice-Chair for the Americas

'a choice that I feel befits his beliefs in rights of workers.'
That comment is just laughable.
