becoming the youngest director in the state to lead a 4A high 
school band; and
	WHEREAS, This impressive record of achievement continued 
when he joined the staff of Harlingen High School in 1975 to lead 
the "Big Red" Cardinal Band to numerous victories in national
and statewide competitions, including the 1978 Disney World

insurance business for the past two decades, has also served as
