Both GRAMCO and U.S. Investment Fund are the brainchildren of a one time White House summer intern, GRAMCO President and Founder Keith Barish, 25. Even before he left the University of Miami after his junior year in 1965, Barish had accumulated a small fortune with various enterprises, including a housing project in Mexico; he had also founded Manufacturer's National Bank of Hialeah (assets: $10 million) and become a director of Hamilton Life Insurance Co. Though his first love was politics ("I thought the greatest thing in the world would be to be a U.S. Congressman"), Barish decided...
