Boris
We are delighted to support Cortec growth with the $1MM equipment loan. Thank you.
I finished the American Dream book you gave me over the summer after the Company tour. I was impressed how much energy you put into the political campaign in your home country ,and I believe a strong contest helps build the system, in any event.
Safe travels. Mike mcg.

Personally Boris I cannot thank you enough for your support during my career. It is so exciting to be involved in Cortec at this point in our growth.
I don't know what to say other than thank you.

Dear Anna, Boris, Dario, Margarita,
I know that we are a bit behind the ordinary time for saying thankful words to you for the opportunity to visit you and have so many meetings, receive so much useful information, but our schedule was so tight after we had returned to Moscow that we could not make this earlier. Cortec Rus is a small company in a sense that the work we do requires not only the commitment as such, but also getting so many minor details placed right on time.
We learned a lot while we were at Cortec Headquarters. We learned that we are not alone, that we have so many friends and that we can go forward and reach the goals that we couldn’t have had before we visited you. And this is not only as regards the volume of sales, this is about connecting the dots. Before we went to Cortec headquarters in September and met with you we did not know how many friends we would have and how much experience we could share. We can’t connect the dots looking forward, we can only connect them, looking backwards.
Thank you very much
Yours
Anton Shemyakin and Andrey Shargin

A lovely arrangement of flowers arrived yesterday to help me celebrate my 80'th birthday with wishes from my Cortec Family. While they are beautiful and deeply appreciated, I am honored and proud to still be considered a member of Cortec. Caring for one another makes a Family strong, and that's what makes Cortec such a great and successful organization.
Best wishes to All that you too may reach another milestone in health and happiness!
-Bob

Hallo Untersschwester, news are your sister came up for some new product needed to save our oceans and our fish we like to eat. So my solution was to clean up the mess that is out there for years and no!!
one wants to admit it is a real food chain problem. So being married to one of the smartest men and a real scientist of knowhow and at heart he had all the upbeat to keep on to come up with a product to keep our planet and us people happy and safe to enjoy our lives.
I love him so much!

Boris & Anna,
Thank you so very much for the extra check! The letter meant a lot to me as well. This was so very generous of you to do this for the employees and you really didn’t have to. But, thank you though for appreciating us and being such great bosses and running such a good company, it is a pleasure to work here! J
FYI- The church that Bill & I are members at, Sunrise Baptist Church, is trying to raise funds for the construction of a new facility for the Sunday school for the children’s class. I have been trying to find ways to get extra money to donate to this specific fund and you just made my week with this extra paycheck because I am giving it back to God & our Church. Thank you again for all that you do for us. Have a Blessed day or night.
Thank you,
Katie Surrett

Dear Mr. Miksic,
I hope that you and Inés enjoyed the Around the World trip, and that you’ve had a pleasant return home! Thank you so much for your book American Dream; it was a nice surprise to receive it! I’ve shared it with our office here and people are enjoying reading it.
It was wonderful to meet you both in Orlando before your departure. If there’s anything I can assist you with please feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to help.
Very best wishes,
Emily

Dear Boris and Ines,
David and I were very happy to have met you on our around the world trip. Boris I'm on page 196 of your book. Since I'm a slow reader, I wanted to write you before I finished the book. I have thoroughly enjoyed your story and thank you so much for sharing it.
One of the new songs I'm learning in my jazz lesson is an old tune, "When You Wish Upon a Star". The song reminded me of you, Boris and of you, Ines. Here are the words:
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are,
anything your heart desires will come to you.
If your heart is in your dreams, nothing else is too extreme,
when you wish upon a star as dreamers do.
Fate is kind; she bring to those who love
the sweet fulfillment of their secret longing.
Like a boat out of the blue, fate steps in to see you through.
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true."
My best wishes to you, Boris, for your next bid to be helpful to Croatia in whatever way you decide. Ines, when I saw the picture of your amberjacks kissing, I understood the desperation you went through when trying to buy the fish kissing necklace. Maybe the kissing fish will end up with a "Munchkin" fish.
Cheers,
Jannie

Dear Mr. Boris Miksic:
You many not remember me, but I met you at the marina in Stillwater, Minnesota in 1997. I am a dentist, "Dr. Gwen" (boat and slip at Mulberry Point Yacht Harbor)
and had the wonderful opportunity to converse with you on several occasions. I had been following your campaign
for the Presidency of Croatia and was truly disappointed with the election of Ivo Josipovic. I have read your
inspiring book, "American Dream" many times (signed by you for me) and have no doubt that at some point in your lifetime you will be able to become a great leader for the people of Croatia.
I live in Florida now (the Daytona Beach area) and if you and your family are ever in the area I would be honored to meet with you again.
Sincerely,
Gwen Traylor, DDS

Attached is a picture I took of one of Boris campaign billboards, in a mall just outside Pula earlier this month!
I only spent a day in Croatia (Istra), but everywhere I stopped everyone knew about
Boris and a couple of people at a restaurant in Rovinj said they could tell from his face on TV
that he is "a good man" and someone who could get things done ... just thought Boris might like to know!

Dear Boris,
Again I want to express my Thanks to you for the gift of money for myself & family. You are a very giving person Boris especially in today’s economy. I was just telling Katie that I have to sell some stuff on Craigslist this year for Christmas $$$$$ so I can buy my grandkids their gifts and 2 minutes later Santa walked around our dept.
Thank you! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Barb

Dear Mr. Boris Miksic,
I am writing this support letter to you in english since I am from Canada and it is easier for me to better express myself. I moved to Croatia 14 years ago, I work as an Air Traffic Controller and I live in Rijeka. As many citizens of this country, I cannot voice how important it is for someone of your stature to be the breath of fresh air this country Croatia desperately needs. I can speak on behalf of many who are fed up with the leadership of this country.....there are far too many issues for me to specifically jot down however being that you are from Minnesota I assume you can relate to the former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura who is in my point of view an outstanding politician and whose character is known for being the outsider and challenging the facts and truth (I have read his book and I have seen many of his interviews I believe he is a stand up man, and someone who can start a revolution ie; his latest book "Don't start the revolution without me", that is what Croatia needs today to survive its future, and you can be that person to start it. ). I hope Mr. Miksic you will run for President and like the last time I and many others will vote for you again. This country is corrupt, war torn, unemployment problems, financial problems, social problems, just to name a few....but I am confident that things can change the citizens of this country simply need a shiny light a beacon of security to follow and I am positive that there can and will be results.
  Â
Since I moved to Croatia I am sick and tired of people always complaining but no affirmative action is being made yet alone trying to be made. I want a leader that loves Croatia for what it stands for, to make its children love and be proud of this country not to use it as the so-called politicians today are using their patriotism for personal financial gain.
Â
I wish you the best and may this time make you the new president of Croatia.
Yours Truly,
Johnny Prgesa

| American Dream: A Guy From Croatia |
.jpg)
"With $37 in our pockets and much apprehension in our hearts, we flew toward our future. We had no time to think what lay ahead because the future conies to soon anyhow."
American Dream: A Guy From Croatia is the exciting saga of a man who fled his home country with nothing but change in his pockets and built a successful company with determination and guts in America. It's a story of business savvy and risk taking that will arouse the entrepreneurial spirit in every reader.
"When he arrived in the United States, Boris Miksic brought along energy, intelligence and determination. But also a dream. He was the Croatian gift to America. Today, as a successful entrepreneur, he is the American gift to Croatia."
— Governor Rudy Perpich
