AL CASTRO HITS 97!

RICK CASTRO- AL & BEE 2018
MY FATHER AL CASTRO TURNED 97- YESTERDAY-12/19/2018.
WE HAD A SMALL FAMILY PARTY FOR HIM IN WHICH HE KEPT NODDING OFF.
NOW IN THE EARLY STAGES OF ALZHEIMER'S, HE JOINS MY MUM BEE WHO'S 95 AND GOING ON 15 YEARS WITH THIS DISEASE.
I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO STILL HAVE THEM, BUT AS ANYONE WHO'S DEALING WITH FAMILY, FRIEND OR THEMSELVES WITH ALZHEIMER'S- IT IS VERY STRESSFUL.
AS BETTE DAVIS ONCE SAID- "OLD AGE AIN'T NO PLACE FOR SISSIES."

I CELEBRATE MY FATHER ALFRED CASTRO
 AS THE OLDEST MALE FASHION MODEL IN THE WORLD?

HER LOST FAMILY OF 43 YEARS


a Kyle Le Documentary. Special Thanks to Kim and Jon for sharing their story with us and allowing me
to be a part of their family experience. I am forever grateful to have been able
to produce this video and to get to know such great people. Kim worked as a child maid and helper to a family with an American GI husband in Saigon in her early teenage years. Her mother lived in poverty and needed Kim and her sister's salary in order to raise her other children, so the two sisters were put to work. 
Kim had a chance to go to America where the family didn't allow her to go to school or go outside. She was basically a prisoner. Eventually, she escaped by faking a pregnancy and she had to move away to another state. When she came back, the family who brought her over disappeared along with Kim's background. Only the American GI's wife knew of Kim's origins but she was cruel and evil. She didn't even mail all of Kim's letters back to her mother. Her mother was never told of her whereabouts or condition. 
Years passed. No clue, no names, no known locations,
everything was a faint memory to Kim until the family who brought her over's son
was found by Jon after endless days and weeks of searching. 
He provided an important clue to the whole mystery with the form of an address
and that's where I came into the picture.
