 HAVANA (AP) - Ramon Castro said Wednesday that his younger brother Fidel was doing very well almost eight months after surgery, but jokingly dodged reporters' questions about whether the leader would soon appear in public.
"He's in one piece," the 82-year-old Ramon said of 80-year-old Fidel as he toured a cattlemen's fair and rodeo with his good friend John Parke Wright, a Florida cattleman. "These Castros are strong!"
Ramon Castro is a longtime farmer and rancher who has never served in a major government position. Wearing a white guayabera dress shirt, brown slacks and a cowboy hat, he looked a lot like his younger brother Fidel, with the same Romanesque profile and thinning white beard.
