Angel, I just spoke with Cabarrocas and I gave him your number as well as Jose Fernandez. Looks like you got the reunion well on its way. I am not going to be able to make it to the reunion, this year, please take lots of pictures and so I can see what every body looks like. I been trying to locate Juan Ramos, Saturnino Diaz, Francisco Suarez and some others. I left messages on different Facebooks hoping that they are the correct people. We'll see... Jose Fernandez is coming down sometime in the next couple of weeks so we can talk for a while, if you have the time and inclination, I would love to have you stop by along with any other Pedro Pan that wants to say "Hello"! Stay well.

Hi Angel, this is Jose Fernandez Barbas “El Gallego”. I found this web site last night and have not stopped thinking about our experiences. Last time I was in contact with you or your sister was in 2003, at the time I had just been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and was scheduled for surgery. To bring you up to date I had a very hard time with this cancer. They have operated on me four times and the radiation treatments were no fun at all. On the bright side, in the last two years I have had good results and I’m feeling good again. Looking at the photos you have posted brought back many wonderful memories. If possible can you e-mail me a file with the other photos? My e-mail address is tictoc6413@aol.com. Hope to hear from you soon and please say high to your wonderful sister for me. She is the only one I have had a chance to see after I left St. Vincent’s Home.

Hi Angel, I would also like to thank you for donating the scrapbook to Barry University and, like Jose Antonio, I would urge you to deposit documents in as many places as possible. I would like to suggest that you can also post some of your photographs in the OPPG website so that the St Vincent section is as well represented as possible. Our story is composed of many different parts and it is very important to have all the parts well documented, in order for the whole picture to be told. Thanks again,

Status update | Aug 12th 2010
Estimado Angel: A personal thanks for donating the scrapbook and pictures to Barry University´s Pedro Pan Archives. We need to preserve the history of Operation Padro Pan for future generations. May I suggest that you also look into donating copies of the pictures to the University of Miami´s Cuban Heritage Collection, which includes Operation Pedro Pan memorabilia, correspondence, photographs, government documents, etc. In order to do so, you may want to contact the librarian in charge of the collection and he/she will let you know what arrangements can be made. I feel that the survivability of our history is best ensured when documents are deposited in as many places as possible, making it possible for a much wider audience to have access to them. Thanks once again. José Antonio.
