520 _a"This project-the memoir of my late father, Manuel Cabranes began in 1983 at the behest of his granddaughters (my daughters, Jennifer Ann and Amy Alexandra Cabranes). They wished to know more about Manuel Cabranes's life and that he, then aged 80, pass along his wisdom and his memories. My father died in 1984, less than a year after he embarked on this project. He had completed a first draft, in Spanish, which he did not intend to be the finished product. Alas, the first draft became the final draft." -- Foreword by José A. Cabranes.
