I just noticed this May 2020, RIP ❤ ✝ 🙏 "Calvin Remembers Elsa Cortina - " | Elsa was our Calvin Spanish professor who led our trips to Denia Spain. I knew she was from a Spanish speaking country but didn't know this little tidbit - wow : "Cortina received a doctorate in education in 1951 from the University of Havana. While there she met fellow student and her future husband Carlos Cortina, who had an interesting roommate: Fidel Castro. ..."
I sent her pictures from our semester in spain a few years ago to her address in Miami. She was also in charge of the program when my 2 brothers went to Spain .
