Dearest Chris,
Funny you should have written me asking if I had ever heard
about Manuel Rey -- he has been of interest to me in my work
for nearly a year -- so here is all you ever wanted to know
but were afraid to ask.
Manuel Ray Rivero was born in Cuba in 1924. He has
been described as softspoken, unassuming, almost humble --
a natural leader of the highest intellect, _ees.t sincerity
and conviction. In 1947, because of his outstanding performance
as a civil engianer, he was granted a scholarship by the Cuban
Ministry of Public Works to pursue graduate studies in engineering
at the University of Utah. Ray was in the United States for
tw years ut did not complete his work for a ,Masters Degree.
When he returned to Cuba, he held various positions in the
engineering field, one of which was .Project Manager for the
t*Io
construction of the Havana Hilton 'Hotel.
In May 1957 he organized the Civic Resistance Movement
which supervised sabotage and acts of terrorism against the
Batista regime. Fidel Castro appointed him Minister of
+r   Public Works in February 1959-te             i   Catr0
