Estimados colegas, Favor de responder directamente a las estimadas colegas Ann Mackenzie <<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]> o Ceri Byrne <<mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask]> del Bulletin of Spanish Studies. Tengo entendido que el recordado colega James A. Castañeda nació el 2 de abril de 1933. A la vez, se encuentra una bella foto de él en la Houston Chronicle <http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/deaths/6097634.html>. No obstante, sólo parientes o amigos tendrían una mejor fotografía o de mejor resolución para poder imprimirla en el BSS (Glasgow). A la vez, sólo ellos podrían confirmar la fecha de nacimiento de James. Si es posible, favor de ayudar a las amables colegas Ann y Ceri. Saludos cordiales de A.
