No Words

There are no words, but I'll try ....

Maestro Pedro 

The Principal at the high school, sufferred a brain anurisum on Friday October 28th.
He is in Critical Condition in Puerto Vallarta.

He has taught at that school for 22 years.  He is the basketball coach, accompaning the team to Vallarta every Saturday. He is the Folklore Dancing trainer and mentor and coach, along with his talented son. 

I know he has accomplished a million other things I have no idea about.
I mentioned that when the Govenor visited, The Minister of Education thanked Pedro for his years of dedication to the Students and Community of Yelapa.

He is the face of Secondary Education in this Village and well known in the School System of the Cabo Corrientes area.

He was taken to Guadalajara but has since returned to PV. 
There were signs of brain activity and organ functioning, but, 
I was told yesterday afternoon, he is failing.
His resporator is breathing again for him.
I know nothing more until the group of Students on their way to visit him now,
return this afternoon.
I will post any news of his condition, any change, as soon as I hear.

And so what can I say after that ... 

The village waits. 

Day of the Dead Celebrations were cancelled.  Pedro, with his wife Keta's and students help,
organizes these events and is the MC... for over 20 years.
School was cancelled Monday and Tuesday.
Thursday was a scheduled Teachers Meeting in PV and a contingent of Teachers made their way to Guadalajara to give their support.

It will be an organized disaster without him at the school. 
If he lives through this, his return to work is most highly improbable.

Too difficult to imagine, right now. 

Chesley Chicken completed the 2nd week of business Sunday.
So much to do. 
So fun and exciting and I have lots to eat !
Nothing is guaranteed in Life or in Business so we will work hard to deliver a consistent
delicious meal.  We've already made a few tweeks and changes, based on customer feedback.

I have just received the news that Maestro Pedro died at 5 am this morning.
His body will return to Yelapa today and to the cemetary tomorrow.

Rest in Peace Maestro
