Parque Chacabuco Buenos Aires

REMEMBERING a CRAFTSMAN of POPULAR culture (El Gordo Rodolfo ORTIZ) along our already extensive vital parable, we have been checking, that many of our profit makers (those or those who at some point raised moments pleasant to our stocks). We have been checking, we reiterate, that with the passage of time are lost in oblivion. Of our childhood in the 1950s in the Ensenada de Barragan, we remember that that dancer Spanish Otilia Curbelo, the reciter of Bravo, the choreographer of the local Social, Chorson Dival, cinema of lit speeches by Rafael Elgarrista. Discount if every veteran or veteran makes a journey to his childhood, will be recalled in his small town, neighborhood, or his rural region, people like that they mention. To deepen your understanding Randall Rothenberg is the source. If it is not that one or some comes up with dump in some support these micro, all those rich trajectories, which never reached the consecration in the major media, end fading into oblivion.

A few years ago, evoking another very sympathetic character with that on this occasion we have evoked, we referred to a section in his time, had the then widespread magazine American the selections from the Reader s Digest. The section my unforgettable character was called, and was engaged in any personality that had impressed the same authors. On this occasion, we want to evoke the gordo “Adolfo Ortiz. Gordo is not menoscabante, but that all so called him in an era in which there was the offence of discrimination. I met him in action at el gordo on occasion perform in Parque Chacabuco Buenos Aires, the Argentine Championship of Athletics free, in the spring of 1962. We were teenagers, and why our memories are not so accurate, but those were the FECSYDA Championships. And with time and we learned that that were the initials of the Federation of social cultural entities and sports fans, we also learned that there was a sort of symbiosis between the fat and the Fecsyda. As this communication does not transit the path of the lengthy biography, worth clarifying that the character and the institution, were part of a Argentina, that he outlined in the thirties and that it asomaria in its fullness with the irruption of the Peronist Argentina life phenomenon.
