I had read this story in high school in 1972. For some reason it stuck in my mind. I have traveled to Mexico numerous times since then to scuba dive and that story was always in the back of my mind whenever we traveled to small towns and dined in the little "off the beaten path" spots. I have asked many friends if they remember reading that short story and no one remembered it so I was thrilled to see that it has obsessed someone else. Thank you for the information. Good work!
