Hola!!! Muchas Gracias por todos los E mail que recibí de Uds. (fueron 125 E
mail) Debo decirles que no se casi nada de vuestro idioma inglés. Estoy
aprendiendo lo elemental, por lo tanto les pido perdón y paciencia para que
Yo pueda contestarles a todos ustedes en su idioma natal. Gracias, disculpen
la demora por contestarles. Hasta Pronto. Félix Adolfo Rodríguez.
P.D: Los acompaño a todos Ustedes y su país, Estados Unidos, en este mal
momento que les está haciendo pasar el temporal Katrina... lo lamento mucho.
Mucha suerte para todos en vuestro Grandioso País. Adiós, hasta pronto.
