Santos Acosta Fuentes
By Karla González
It was 1944 and 28-year-old Santos (Sandy) Acosta had lost all hopes of meeting the man she would marry and live with for the rest of her life.
But that same year, the fantasy became a reality. Sandy Acosta met a sailor, who was young, charming, and who wanted to marry her, which took her by surprise.
"I never did think that he would ever do that," she said.
Three days later, Sandy Acosta became Mrs. Fuentes.
