No, I am Puerto Rican. Father never finished eigth grade, mother did finish high school. Neither was a native English speaker. Dad was enlisted man for 30+ years. Mom worked as a clerk after we were in school. All three children graduated college or more (me MBA and MS, Wisconsin) and enjoy comfortable lifestyles. Sister (BA,art and fashion FIT) works in the fashion world in NYC (x Perry Ellis and Michael Kors, now the GAP-better pay and hours).
