Mariano's Story
Got out of high school, did the Tamale Tec thing for 2 year was not much into it, got a "C" in tennis!!! Guess I was in love.
No I know I was in love. Met the lady that saved my life. Yvonne, I know, I know. Many people around us know the story. But I needed her more. Joined the Air Force, did 4 years, stayed out of Vietnam but did my last 11 months in Alaska. Worked the flightline in, yes 65 below. Decided to get out. Came back home and kissed the ground when we landed. Got back into Tamale Tec did much better, but Mr. Barron called, he got me into the freight business, haven't been able to get out.

irement, then went back to UT Pan American. Graduated Dec 2010 BA with major in management. I kind of did it backwords, I did 27 years in management then got my degree. They kick me out of Pan Am, they said I need to find a job. "Dam" I got a great opportunity to work for ABF Freight System as an account manager. I am loving it, mostly because sometimes I run into folks from Brownsville. Rudy Castillo, Cindy Price, man we can talk forever. I miss my friend from back in those days, but I needed her more. I have 2 sons, they are just too nice. They played baseball, not football, thats why they are so nice. I have one grand-dauther she look like my wife and fights like her grandpa. My goal is to do another 5 years in this business then work the kitchen at the salvation Army. I could not ask for a better life, I told you I needed her.
