Q: Was it hard for you to retire?
A: Ah, no. I was glad. I was very happy to get out, to say I don't have to drive to New York anymore.
Q: What motivated you?
A: I loved the job. I loved the tobacco. Money was no object. In Cuba I think they paid me $100 a month, but I had food, living and a jeep. And that was really good.
