Steve Zafiris was 16 years old when the opportunity arose to travel to the United States as an officially-sponsored immigrant. With the help of an uncle, a brother of his father, he made his way to the Chicago area. While he had never specifically focused on the restaurant business as a career- opportunity, it was there he was introduced to the restaurant business in general. Through friendships he had developed in the local Greek oriented community he met the young woman, Mary, who would eventually become Mrs. Steve Zafiris. It was also very fortunate that he arrived in the Chicago metropolitan area at about the same time as McDonald's Restaurants were opening their first restaurants in the famous national chain. The events that followed, his love of the United States and the opportunity presented by McDonald's Corporation are outlined in the book and led to his coining of the phrase "God Bless America and the Golden Arches" Alan E. Cole, Author's Assistant
I have known Steve Zafiris for over 25 years, but just heard about this book. So glad I read it! It is a book about courage, perseverance, integrity and the American dream. It was so interesting to hear how a young boy survived the war in Greece and made it in America. I feel so fortunate to know Steve and many of those mentioned in the book.I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about the opportunities in America and what it takes to achieve them.
