Career

To distinguish the two during their mutually active career span from the 1940s through the early 1960s, his father was originally published as Walfredo de los Reyes Sr. and he as Walfredo de los Reyes, Jr. With the senior's retirement, and the onset of his own son's career, he was published as the new Walfredo Reyes, Sr. and his son as Walfredo Reyes, Jr. (natively Walfredo de los Reyes Palau IV).[2]
