Webmaster, you do well in keeping your identity unknown!
While I was perusing different names on the Internet, I found this page and I felt joy. Joy, because the Arreche family has been intertwined with ours for decades. This joy turned to horror and disgust when I read some of the postings.
As I was reading the contents of this page, I could clearly see Don Eduardo and Dona Maria. My parents tell me that Don Eduardo always told them that having a big family was a dream for them both. They wanted to see a united front, a coming together of sorts. How they must be shaking their heads in disgust at the agendum of total negativity.
I wonder what they think of the waves of envy and venomous anger from a person who touts "she is proud to be an Arreche." It is irritating to the core of my soul to see the vicious attacks on other members of the family who are really trying (as I see it) to post things that are meaningful. My wife and I have postulated that the unity Don Eduardo and Dona Maria desired to have, and could not have with their own children has just escalated into semantic atrocities and greed by some of their children's progeny.
Having been raised in Puerto Rico and currently living in the United States, my family and I have kept contact with certain members of the Arreche clan. To the one who wrote about "white collar crimes" you show your complete ignorance of the facts. We (my wife and myself) both knew this person and this "white collar crime" was planned and carried out with utmost bravado.
The attorney who was incarcerated also made some very bad choices. Her actions were borne out of greed and pomposity. She always believed she was "above the law" and tried to prove her cogency in many ways.
White collar crime is not the only thing the Arreche family needs to discuss. You need to come to terms with the condition, or in present day vernacular, sickness of alcoholism and drug abuse. My parents were privy to many discussions with family members regarding this debilitating illness. It was very evident to us that child abuse ran rampant in this family. As ostriches you would do well to try and bury your heads in the sands of such abominations as child molestation, robbery and terrorism.
Perhaps cowardice is the only way to define the fact that I give no name. Please remember that we have known your family for decades and its skeletons were not as safeguarded as you may have thought. Do my families or I act as your conscience? No, but you must!
