Rodolfo's Story
I go by the nick name of 'Rudy' and was associated with the Mighty Brahma Band where I played the cornet. Back in those days Freshmen were located at the middle schools (Memorial Jr. High). I graduated in May of '72 but did not attend the graduation ceremony because I was playing at another graduation dance with the Beto Leal and his orchestra band. That summer I worked as a carpenter's apprentice putting up the buildings at the Lulac Manor government assistance housing program. In late September, I joined the United States Marine Corps and went to training in San Diego, CA. and graduated from Boot camp in January of '73.

guard at the U.S. Embassy and also spent temporary additional duty in Kuwait and S'ana Yemen. I was then transferred to Mexico City, Mexico and later to Panama City, Panama. After 28 months of service over seas my enlistment ran out so I was Honorably Discharged and returned home in November of '76. I then found work as a Manager trainee with Pizza Inn and opened the restaurants here and in Alice. I then found work with Long John Silvers and for the next eight years I worked as a store manager opening Long John Silvers restaurants in Harlingen, Brownville, McAllen, Laredo, Del Rio and finally landed in Houston. I received a transfer to the Corpus Christi store and eventually worked my way back to Kingsville where I decided to leave the restaurant industry and attend college. I graduated with my Bachelors in '92, went to work for Child Protective Services until my retirement in 2012.
