Many of you know Josue Baretto. He emailed me with info below on a basketball tournement in Switzerland. I’m not sure how he got my address. I think he’s asking me to post the info to everyone in the group. Perhaps someone who knows him and knows Spanish could drop him a line to say hello and thank him for the invite? As you can see, we ain’t making much sense with each other
