ONGI ETORRI TO BUBER’S BASQUE PAGE!

What started out as a personal homepage and a vehicle to learn HTML has grown to a site that contains nearly 1000 pages and receives over 16,000 hits per day. The popularity and usefulness of this site is a testament to all of the work done by the volunteers who have sent in articles on various subjects. This site is dedicated to the memories of my dad, Pedro "Pete" Uberuaga Zabala, and my grandpa, Jose "Joe" Telleria.
