My father was born is Syria in  1905 and came to Brazil at a very young age. My  mother was born in Brazil  1913.They got married in 1939, and my father was already out  of Medicical School. he was  general practitioner ,  he was very devoted to his clients and provided  medical care to the poor .We lived in a huge home, and I remeber havng lines of woman and men, to walking in and be checked by my father...My grand fathers from both sides were very hard workers and very much into giving a good education to the whole .
