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. Robert Lauer
