Hit the Ground Running
With her two sisters, their husbands, and a piece of paper with an address on it, Hilda made it to Miami Beach, and began going to Lindsey-Hopkins Technical College. For 8 months there, she resumed her typing classes and other secretarial work. Hilda found work as a secretary at the shoe business her sister's husband had just opened.

Bringing the Family Together
At this time, Hilda's parents were still in the midst of the Castro dictatorship in Cuba. Riots were breaking out everywhere, and the violence was only ramping up. One day, a bomb was set off right outside the door of David and Tauba's store, El Collar. This traumatizing event was their signal that they needed to leave, and they made the same journey their daughters did two years prior.

On November 11, 1962, Benny went through on his promise he had made five years prior. When he put his chain around her neck, he never could have known that it would lead to them marrying. It set off a chain reaction that extended his legacy through his children and grandchildren, and soon there will be generations after that.
