My family is from Spain, traveled from Spain to Cuba by ship in 1896 where they settled and became farmers. My father, who never like farming, came to the United States in the 1940's to continue his studies (he was a scholar). He was suppose to go back to Cuba where he planned to obtain a position in the capital city of Havana... BUT... a week before he was due to return, his friends threw him a farewell party where he met a beautiful young lady (my mother)... that was it... He never returned except to visit.
