What I neglected to say below is that she was part of the Operacion! My recollection is that she and her parents did reconnect a few years later -- and she went to Miami, I believe, as well, where she stayed until college in Washingoton, DC

I went to Dunbarton College with a girl whose father, I believe, was a doctor and friend of Castro. I am drawing a blank on her name but the Dunbarton College should be significant. If you happen to have a list, I would recognize the name. I was at Dunbarton from l968-l969 and then transferred so I lost touch.

Just to let you know that I reconnected with Angel Canete whom I hadn't seen since we both were in Saginaw, Michigan back in the early 60's. The Pedro Pan dinner/dance on Saturday night was a most enjoyable experience and I recommend to all those that did not or could not attend to head down to Miami next year and try it out. For me it was a positive, emotional experience reconnecting with friends of long ago, and catching up to realize that all 14,048 of us share a common bond that automatically places us in an unique situation. This Pedro Pan from Washington State is looking forward to next year.
