Sorry, but I'm not related to CARMEN IBANEZ from STARSHIP
TROOPERS, but according to the book her boyfriend, Johnny Rico was
a Pinoy and so am I. I'm not related to the IBANEZ

to sell more guitars. But enough personal stuff. You came here to see all

allowed each week when I'm NOT teaching at LMU or at community meetings or running around at
