Felicidades to el maestro Acuna on the 40th anniversary of the publication of Bless Me, Ultima. In 1972 I was a freshman at the University of Texas in Austin. Bless Me, Ultima was the first Chicano novel I read and it had a tremendous impact on me.
Mis respetos, honor a quien honor merece. Yo conoci al Sr Anaya el año pasado en su casa y fue grandioso conocerlo, mis hijos estababan facinados. Gracias Sr. por ser una persona sencilla y siempre dispuesto con una franca sonrisa. Gracias tambien por introducirnos en el mundo de las letras con su grandiosa imgaginacion y talento.
