Tito was not really my uncle, he was one of my mom’s flamboyant friends, back from her former life as part of an Argentine dance troupe. The dance troupe was touring Latin America and went bankrupt in Panama. It left the performers stranded. I guess in those days, something like this could be life-altering. If it happened now, you’d just FaceTime someone to send you money and it wouldn’t have been a big deal.
