Bernardo de Torres died last December.
"At first, no one knew the name of the 84-year-old homeless man who slept in Barnes Park, was hit by a car, and quietly
died in a hospice in the dead of winter. Every death is a tragedy; every life has a story.
But days after his death this past December 2, he was identified as Bernardo de Torres, once the head of intelligence for
Brigade 2506, the Cuban patriotas who landed at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 with hopes of overthrowing Fidel Castro.
Bernardo was taken prisoner and was only released after the personal intervention of President John F. Kennedy.
If his story ended there, his life would have had some historical importance. But there was more. So much more."
