| Abstract: | The fate of most civil engineering grads in communist- controlled Poland was a 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. job in a drab state factory. Not for Jack and Irena Szot. In the 1970s, when private ventures of fewer than 15 people were allowed to go it alone, the newlyweds first tried making furniture and then growing flowers in Piaski, their village in eastern Poland. In 1983, they bought some rickety equipment and began stamping out rubber auto parts. This one paid off. Jacek made dies, Irena manages the books, and they built a $2 million auto-parts business. |
