Nuestro buen amigo Oscar Polaco ha partido de este barrio, hacia caminos celestiales, se que donde se encentre estara brindando con una "cañita", como lo hicimos en Tarragona en octubre de 2008. Saludo Oscar y vida eterna.

Una gran pérdida para la comunidad científica, pocos como él. Seguro donde está, ya empezo a buscar bajo las piedras. Garcias por tu enseñanzas de vida.
