EXAMINING THE PAST TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT
This book is about his journey as a political refugee from Cuba to the United States. It's about the challenges, disappointments, and victories that destiny threw in his path. To bring in American poet Robert Frost, Jorge had two paths to choose to follow: one leading to an honorable life and the other taking him to a disreputable future. Looking back on the strong Judeo-Christian values that his family had given him, and with no support system to fall back on, he chose the path that led him to the man that he is today--a proud American who is eternally thankful for the opportunities that our country gave him, a proud husband with a forty-five-year marriage, a proud father of a wonderful son...

Kings of Texas
Praise for KINGS OF TEXAS "Kings of Texas is a fresh and very welcome history of the great King Ranch. It's concise but thorough, crisply written, meticulous, and very readable.
