On the other hand, AlbertoGerchunoff has left some notes about the café in which he says he was the one responsible for the lucky idea, but not Sánchez.
One day when Gerchunoff was seated at a table, he was approached by several young boys not quite faithful to their sex.
Gerchunoff had a reputation for "namer" (he was who christened the "Nosotros" magazine, by Giusti and Bianchi, taking the name from the title of an unfinished novel by Payró, and he credited himself, furthermore, as we have already seen, for the fatherhood of the name of "Los Inmortales").
