This book is dedicated to the memory of my beloved
grandfather,
Isidro Plaza Prestel,
who was born on Christmas Eve, 1926,
and passed away on July 16, 2018.
El Yayo was my Rock, my Dream Maker.
To his love and support I owe this book and
all of my life’s accomplishments.
He gave me wings to fly, and his example,
wisdom, and love will forever guide me
as I fly higher and higher.
