Juan Valdez: David Lightle

David Lightle: They do not think of David Lightle, according to The Star. I m a marketing consultant, he says, on the phone from Beijing and When North Americans hear the word Colombia, they might think of the former drug lord Pablo Escobar, or the Nobel-prize-winning novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or possibly a character wearing a serape and leading a burro, a fictional coffee-grower who goes by the name Juan Valdez. Lightle, 55, isnt even Colombian. Hes an American from Tipp City, Ohio, who seems to spend most of his time these days in China or Taiwan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
