to the extraordinary career of a man who from his childhood, along with his father, worked in the fields, including eight years as an ox-cart driver. Without the help of a formal education, he continued as a trucker’s helper and truck driver. With his twenty-three years of experience as a trucking entrepreneur, he created the foundation for this hotel which he opened in 1970.
Let this work serve as a memorial to all who aspire to realize their dreams and make their work the means to achieve it.
