This was from my last visit to Cuba in June. There’s a video and brief story at the CBS news web site. The editors in New York oddly decided not to mention UTSA College of Architecture, the National Trust for Historic Preservation or the Finca Vigia Foundation. Plus they misspelled my name slightly. At least the story is well done and accurate. M.Arch grad student Laura Carrera is assisting me currently with research on this project. Past students who have helped with research on Finca Vigia include Javier Ramos Garcia, Valeria Berkley and Clifton Holt. -Professor Dupont
