Dr. Fernando “Fritz” Riveron was 5 years old when he watched the Bay of Pigs invasion from a balcony at his family’s home in Cuba. Not long after the invasion, Riveron and his family emigrated from Cuba, fleeing Fidel Castro’s regime and starting a new life in the U.S.
Shereen Siewert welcomes Dr. Riveron, who will share the story of his journey from Cuba to Wausau, where he has become a renowned surgeon and community leader.
This is an encore presentation.
