Spanish Civil War Refugees in the U.S.

[Corsino]

In addition to the post about our book "We Came Alone - Solos en America", the other news is that most of my American family finally visited Asturias .
We were there in late June/early July. Unfortunately, my home in Castandiello had already been demolished for the construction of the new highway through the concejo of Aller, and had been replaced by the sign: "CASTANDIELLO 0.1 KM."
But there were some good news. We were able to meet Terechu and her husband, as well as Luis Argeo , the filmer of documentaries. Also , Alicia Pozo Gutierrez and Immaculada ( Imma) Colomina detoured from their trip through Spain so we could meet. Alicia is a lecturer at the University of Southampton, England. Imma is a researcher on the subject of Spanish refugees, and lives in Barcelona.
Since it was the first trip to Asturias for most of my American family , they met most of my Spanish family, who came to Carrio (across Rio Nalon from Pola de Laviana) for a family reunion.
Everybody, including Alicia and Imma, was impressed by the beautiful Asturian scenery.

Hi Stamargo
We first wrote our stories in English and later translated them into Spanish. Unfortunately, we were unable to interest a publisher in the English version. We do have the English version on a CD-ROM and throughout the years I've mailed quite a few CDs to those interested.
