3 two-word phrases I created that I can put to memory as my mantra for a life well-lived.
3 two-word phrases I created that I can put to memory as my mantra for a life well-lived.
I'm a proud Tampa Native born in 1959. I hung out south of Gandy quite a bit as I attended Robinson High School. I am a mix of Spanish and Cuban heritage and from an old Ybor City family. I grew up hearing stories about my grandfather getting on a boat from Spain at age 13 to go to Cuba and then wanting to become an American. Our family has roots in Key West, where my grandfather met my grandmother. My other grandparents had ties to Cuba and went back and forth for family. That grandmother was a stripper in a cigar factory (look it up - not what you think). Her husband worked in the cigar box factory.
I remember when they built the original Tampa Stadium because it was a big deal to my family. We were all attending the NFL exhibition and college games, the old University of Tampa Spartans, and others, to show the NFL that Tampa could support a pro team. I was 17 when we were awarded the Bucs and so, I'm a life long fan.
I met my wife in Melbourne where we were married and moved back to Tampa. It turned out that she loved Tampa just as much as I did, raising my two girls here. My wife & children are still my favorites things.
