An account in press -diary "Ya" posibly- of enlistment in the Air Force, a sheet with the expenses that it caused him. Many of the documents are written in pencil, the request for the certificate of good conduct, the instructions for volunteerism, the department had to submit a manuscript, and appreciates the role apergaminado a watermark and writing pen. There is a labor certificate from a factory tile mosaic, in which the owner, D. Mario Capote Otero, Cuban and great friend of my father, introduced briefly working life of my father, work being carried out after the morning milking of the family that operated "milk cow factory /vaquería" my grandmother Rose.

Do you commented earlier that my father kept the friendship with the General Ramón Salas Larrazábal until his death in 1993?.
One of the most cherished books in my library is "The History of War Spain," which he wrote with his brother Jesús. It was a gift from my father for my birthday in 2003 - the year that murió-. It turns out that D. Ramon was a long few years pergeñando a book on the bombing of Guernica. My father had bought in 1976 a very curious, Guernica 26-4-1937, Klaus A. Maier. My father in one of his travels to Salamanca, where he was drafted, he lent, caring before realizarle some photocopies of the cover and first few pages. At last, among many pains, D. Ramon finished your book and died a few months later. My father gave him much grief and it was very violent say about to his widow, Dª Lali.
Already in 1997, with the help of the Internet, I found in the National Library of Spain, BNE. And on June 13, 2003, the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua I went for its facilities in Madrid. I asked for a temporary pass, and a Librarian exquisitely lovely, with the data obtained from the photocopy helped me fill in the details of the request. I approached by the reading room, at the counter and hands over my card five minutes after arriving with it in a small trolley. I delivered what I feel in the table that was available in the Reading Room. All this, absolutely thrilled. I read their lines very happy and checking an account of the story of a Junker 52-3 that crashed in El Puerto de La Cruz Verde, downed by fighters of the Republican base Alcala de Henares and participated in the bombing.
Once finished my reading, return the book and I approached by the Department of Reproduction. Request a copy of the entire book.
Already in the August 25, 2003, the Feast of Santiago Apóstol, the other pattern Villalba pickup commissioning and I go back to my house. After a short bus ride, get home to my parents and say: "Dad this is for you, I have finally managed to" Open the leaves, it discovers and tell me: What should I, who want the book? Nothing, Dad, if you want as a birthday gift, you gift me an exemplar of the book writed by Salas Larrazábal brother, the one that is not signatured by D. Ramón.
And so it was, at the Hospital Puerta de Hierro, my oldest brother, Miguel gave me his gift on September 1, my birthday.
Jan.
