Jack Bennet Gringo Cristero

Can't Post | Private Reply

I am looking for any info regarding Jack Bennet who passed away circa 1983. As a teenager I met Jack in CA around 1981. He awed me with his incredible stories as a Mexican charro and his participation as I guess the only Gringo Cristero. He had photos and relics of the time to proove it. He was married to Litka Bennett a dance teacher from Hungary or Bulgaria (can´t remember) who had a ballet studio in Guadalajara. His compadre was some charro call José El Coyote.

By chance, I just came across a reference to a "Jack Bennet and wife" who attended an art exhibit at the Villa Montecarlo in Chapala in November 1944.
Other than that, I know nothing about him, but would be interested to hear more if anyone has additional information.

I've been writing on the Cristeros, but never heard of him. Would be interested in hearing more.
