EG was nicknamed "fuser" (El Furibundo Serna) by his best friend, fellow leprosy doctor, and travelling companion, Alberto Granado. Che means "hey you" in Argentina, and Guevara used to say that alot. He was first called 'Che' in Guatemala, I believe, by a Cuban exile named Antonio Nico Lopez (who knew Castro).
Guevara did not meet Castro until later when he was working as a doctor in Mexico The meeting took place around July 1956. They were introduced by Raul Castro, Fidels brother.
SGT Mario Teran, M-2 carbine. Rodriguez wrote about it.
