Move to the US

There are several sources stating that gomes family moved to the United States when he was young, but they offer conflicting information. The Miami Herald has an article stating he was nine at the time, whereas the Las Vegas Review-Journal article states he was twelve. Which is right? Mindmatrix 13:51, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Maybe we should simply say something benign like "when he was young" until we can find out for sure? – Muboshgu (talk) 13:54, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the text, and left a hidden comment just in case. Mindmatrix 20:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
