Pete: I was honored and privileged to have shared years of friendship and camaraderie through our mutual involvement in National Image, Inc. We shared love for our Hispanic community and worked closely to advance employment, education, and civil rights for Hispanic Americans. I will remember fondly the many conventions that we attended and most especially the 1992 National Image, Inc. Convention in Albuquerque that you and I worked so diligently from 1990 to 1992 to plan and host. What a marvelous convention that was. Rest in peace my friend. You lived a good life.
