Guatemala Gang Members

There are lots of gangs in Guatemala City. So, we decided to join one. It's a tough bunch. Let me introduce you to the gang:

That's us, Natalie, the Smiths, Carol, the Hogges, and Mary Ann

Rick Smith is our current gang leader. Sadly, Rick and his right-hand woman Sherry are being exported back to Gilbert, Arizona in a couple of weeks. It is not uncommon to find Rick out in the reception room with a dozen kids gathered around while he appears to be playing with them. But don't be mistaken by his soft disguise.  He's a former Colonel in the Air Force, a Lieutenant in the Navy, and a trained killer.  He's just out of practice at the moment.

Sherry keeps Rick under control. Otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos and mayhem we might have?

From Logan, Utah, the Hogges are next in line:

Larry Hogge can cut you to the quick with his knife-sharp sense of humor. He constantly keeps us in stitches. As far as his dentistry is concerned, Larry is fearless. He'll tackle any wisdom tooth no matter how impacted. If it's a battle between a wisdom tooth and Larry, sorry wisdom tooth, you lose. Shaun, his comrade, doesn't faint at the sight of blood. Although she's not directly responsible, she encourages Larry.

The gatekeeper!

That's what people call Ellen Clason. It has been rumored that she has kept dozens of rambunctious teenage boys sitting quietly for hours. No sissy could do that.

Our gang is so notorious, we have to wear masks. This is a rare peek at my sidekick, Trudy, and me without our faces covered. Note the fear in our victim's eyes.

O yea, the whole gang is bad. But only the roughest, toughest, meanest hombre gets his image immortalized in tile on the wall of pain.  I'm that hombre!

These tall walls protect our hideout. And we definitely need them!
