7/18/11: The second wife of Dr. Martinez was not related in any way to the first wife. All references suggesting this were removed. (These errors had come from a phone conversation with an Ecuadorian Historian who was confused about the matter at the time of the phone call)
7/20/11: Some wording on the Biography page which had quoted a source saying that Dr. Martinez had returned to the U.S. after hearing of the murder of President Moreno was changed because at present this is unsubstantiated and until more solid proof is found this must be regarded as questionable.
