Dear Mr. Moore:
The second last name of my father wasn't "Otero". That
correspond to
another "member of the team" of that time named Leonel
Sisniega Otero (who
still lives in Guatemala) and use to write in some
newspapers.
As the article tells, my uncle was killed in a supermarket
parking lot in
"Montufar Avenue" (and also his bodyguard). He was with two
of my cousins
(sister and younger brother), who by miracle, stay alive
today. That was in 1969.
But about the "other story" you mencioned in the article,
concerning the
"Sulfato Plane", they were piloted by my grandmothers
brothers (Carlos and
Francisco Cheesman). You can see the funny course of life
or destiny,
because Mario Lopez Villatoro's second wife, my aunt; Marta
Gonzalez de
Lopez (who died last year), was also, Carlos and Francisco
Cheesman's niece.
In other words, my uncle Mario and my grandma's brothers
(who piloted the "sulfato") were part of Guatemalan history.
I'll show my cousins the article and I am pretty sure they
will be very excited too.
Thanks and regards.

From Guatemala, Roberto Gonzalez write....
I have read the article "The Clandestine Grandaddy of
Central America". I'm Mario Lopez Villatoro's nephew (he was my aunt's
husband) and I was very
excited to read that article.
