I was honored to be guest at Dr. Heather Wilson’s table at the UTEP Distinguished Alumni banquet. Jon Barela and Ted Houghton and their guests were at our table as well. It was a great event honoring some amazing alumni. Joe Gomez a good friend of my family received a well deserved standing ovation. Steve de Groate recently completed his final term at the UMC Board and had exemplary accomplishments during his terms.
