What in the world were you doing in Colón in the 50's, did your people work for the canal?
My dad was Cuban and worked for Coca Cola in Latin America. We moved back to Cuba after his stint in Panama, but then had to flee to Mexico when Castro came along, which is where I lived until emigrating to the USA in the 1960s. Both my parents are buried in Mexico.
Also, fyi all the USAians who worked on the Panama Canal lived in the Canal Zone, which was under US control. You couldn't find any of them in Colón, and everyone there spoke Spanish.
