FRANK M BRANDSTETTER

In the first of a series of travel posters for Aeronaves de Mexico, I featured Las Brisas in the poster for Acapulco. Mr.Brandstetter, an advetising client, was ecstatic by my creative efforts, referring to me, never by name, but simply El Maestro. My frequent reception at Las Brisas was, seemingly, of a belief that I could walk on water. Quite a guy!

FOND MEMORIES WITH BRANDY IN ACAPULCO, MEXICO CITY, VALLE DE BRAVO TOGETHER WITH GUILLERMO GRIMM AS WELL IN ATHENS AND CRETE

brandy and i first net at a las brisas owers association meeting. he was on the board of directers,at the end of the meeting i approached brandy and introduced myself. as we were walking out of the room, he invited me to have lunch with him at casa tranquilidad. the lunch lasted 2 hours and the relationship lasted more than 9 years. he not only became a best friend but a trusted mentor, with a wealth of first hand life experiences to share. as the years went by our friendship grew stronger...

An american patriot, a teacher and a friend. It was an honor to met and shared knowledge and experiences with a legend of our time.

Mr Brandstetter "Brandied" me in December 2004 when he received us at his home in Acapulco. The brief day we spent was enough to have me talking about him ever since, not once without some tears of admiration.

I was privileged to work for Mr. Brandstetter both at Las Brisas Hilton and also at Acapulco Hilton back in the late 1950's and early 1960's. He was a kind and generous man and I was honored to know him and work for him. I will keep him in my prayers, he was a wonderful man!

I also was Las Brisas General Manager from 1994 to 1997; I am sending my condolences to his family.
