A tribute to a father
|
Posted on Aug 22 2008
Seventy-two years ago on Aug. 10, Eusebio Taimanao Manglona, best known as Bell to his family and friends, became the fourth child of seven children born to Luis and Veronica Manglona of Rota Island. From an early age Bell had great ambition to explore the world beyond his beautiful island. In 1950, he continued his education on the island of Guam. He seized his opportunity to explore by joining the Air Force. His last post was in the mainland USA in the state of Ohio.
After retiring from the military he worked odd jobs while attending Ohio State Cosmetology College. Soon after graduation he opened a barber shop known as Manglona’s Barber Shop. He capitalized on his success at his barbershop business and invested in real estate. His success in both businesses did not deter him from taking on two part-time jobs. His singular determination to work hard and “anything is possible” mentality propelled him toward his most rewarding job, being a father to three bright and beautiful young ladies.
Bell’s success is not limited to business alone. He is a respected member of the community and is always seen with a smile on his face and a ready hand to shake. Although balancing his busy schedule is a testament to his dogged commitment to excellence in whatever he pursues, his secret would be summed up in a regiment of vitamins, yearly examinations, and a balanced diet.
Today Bell continues to prosper and reap the rewards of his endeavors. He lives in Ohio with his wife, Connie Quitugua Manglona and three daughters. This is our family’s tribute to a self-made man of the world on his 72nd birthday and our Rota success story, Mr. Eusebio Taimanao Manglona.
