Dr. Armando Payas
Dr. Armando Payas was born in Santiago of Cuba, on January 1, 1929. He received his elementary education in Colegio La Salle and the secondary education in Instituto de Segunda Enseñanza de Santiago de Cuba. He earned his Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Havana University in 1953 and began practicing law in his native city, as a criminal attorney. In 1955 he was appointed Notary Public, a prestigious position, by the Ministry of Justice after a very difficult exam and process.
He arrived in Miami, on March 10, 1962, without any knowledge of the English language. He began working as Director of the Foreign Language lab. It was a challenging and difficult position because it was a discipline that he had no expertise in, and lacked command of the English language.
