    No problem, it might just seem like time is passing faster with all this wonderful good news were having lately.

    I am skeptical about Lydia Guevara’s being the granddaughter of Che, because none of the articles I have read state which Che offspring Lydia came from.

    She would be the granddaughter of Che’s first wife Hilda Beatriz Gaeda but Lydia is Peruvian and had been a debutante as her grandmother had been. The Gaeda’s are wealthy and private though had supported Garcia in his first presidency. Forrest Whittaker also has appeared in PETA ads but wisely kept his clothes on.
