Probably you already know this story,but just in case....
This is the short story of a Cuban refugee and his son.
The Cuban was born in the city of Santiago de Cuba and studied in the Jesuit School of Dolores. In 1961 he went into exile to the city of Alburquerque, New Mexico where he finished high school and graduated as an engineer in college.
He went to work for Esso Standard Oil, worked hard and became Executive Vicepresident of the firm. When he was a college student in Alburquerque he met a divorced single mother with a 3 year old son. He married her and adopted the little boy whom he loved so dearly.
The little boy grew up and graduated as an Electrical Engineer and after working in Wall Street wanted to go into business for himself. His father encouraged him and gave him the $300,000.00 that he had saved for retirement. The young man launched his business thanks to the help and encouragement of his loving Cuban refugee father.
The $300,000.00 turned into billions! The name of the Cuban refugee: Miguel Angel Bezos.The son's name: Jeff Bezos. The company's name: Amazon.com
