One of the fringe benefits of being a journalist
is that sometimes you rub shoulders with greatness!
When I co-hosted "Tiempo" with Anna Carbonell on WABC-NYC in 1983, I had the privilege to interview:   • Cuban bandleader Machito, shortly after he won the Grammy for Latin Music at the age of 74.   • Pele, the greatest soccer player of all time.   • Tito Puente, the King of Latin Music.   • Miriam Colon, the Queen of the NY Hispanic Theatre.   • Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa.   • Salsa Superstar Ruben Blades.
