SPECIAL DATE—SPECIAL STORIES

Four Havenselli generations together in business/pleasure trip to Sin City

MUKO editor/publisher, Esperantujan prime minister and martini bar proprietor Dennis Havens seen here at the Las Vegas home of his granddaughter, SeRita Covarrubias, holding his first great-grandchild, Angelina.

    “Meeting her made up for the top-secret circumstances under which I had to sneak into the United States, along with family members, since my prime minister’s position is not recognized by the present U.S. government, still stubbornly hanging on to its position that the nation of Esperantujo doesn’t exist. I had to endure five days without a Kalumno cigarette or a drink of Pluto™ gin.”

    Havenselli even had to cancel a meeting with his old friend and Esperantujo’s CYA director, Chik Santell, in the U.S. on a different mission, out of security concerns. 

Four generations separate our prime minister from his newest descendant, the PM smilingly observes.

    “She’s likely to be my only great-grandchild for some time,” he philosophically observes. “My other twentysomething granddaughters are too busy pursuing careers to give serious thought to marriage, let alone motherhood...and my one grandson is, at present, twelve years old.”

    Angelina could become one of the first people profiled on a proposed new TV show in the development stages at Hoopla Media Empire headquarters, Where the Hell Did You Come From, an Esperantujan version of the popular American show, Who Do You Think You Are. A Havenselli-based feature has the go-ahead from Hotel Association chieftain, Sir Federico (Freddy the Fisherman) Havenselli; there is enough genealogical material, we hear, to allow a multi-show production, possibly to spread out through the program’s first season, and media mogul Ed Hoopla is said to be thinking about running it every Monday night, immediately following Esperantujo’s most popular show, Execution of the Week.

    “We got everything in dem family records,” Freddy the Fisherman tells MUKO. “All da way from Kings of England to-a da Sicilian crime syndicates. Even-a pirates!”

Tax maven Aziz DiLalli, the Prime Minister’s son-in-law (he’s married to Havenselli daughter and soccer documentarian Alondra DiLalli) holds his great niece-in-law as she enjoys a refreshing bottle of milk.

    The multi-generational Havenselli family (our MUKO editor/publisher’s baseball-playing star Youssef was present in the group, enjoying the bright Vegas lights as well as the chance to meet his new niece-in-law). He also did a yeoman’s job smashing the remains of the piñata as seen in the photo below.

Holding her great-niece (or is she a grand-niece?) for the first time, Alondra di Lalli meets the 3½-month-old Angelina in a quiet moment during the party.

Whose party was it, anyway?

May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) was the 12th birthday of Anthony Covarrubias, guest of honor at the celebration thrown for him by his father and stepmother. The Havensellis sneaked into the country at great risk to meet the birthday boy and his sister
