poet and essayist Dr. Juan Marinello Vidaurreta
(1898-1977). They collected 128 of his works
and 63 letters of prominent intellectuals Cuban and
Latin American views on the Old Doctor.
On March 6, 1908 widowed in Mexico City the
prominent Cuban doctor and their four
children-Mexican Maria de los Dolores, Savannah, and
Juan Star-picked his mother and his two sisters who
lived in Veracruz and returned permanently Cuba in
January 1909.
I am convinced that out of our Apostle of
Independence Jose Marti Perez, no Cuban assimilated
so deeply Mexican culture as Dr. John Antiga and
Escobar.
