9, 1937 in Presidio, Texas and
during his early childhood years,
World War II was on everyone’s
mind. His dad went off to war
while his mother stayed behind
caring for his little brother, Jose
Antonio. It was then that he
started to have visions and dreams
of someday becoming a soldier.
After the war, his dad came home
and bought his employer’s store and he and his mother operated
it successfully for the next 30
years. At the age of 9, he was
sent to Moye Military School
in Castroville, Texas where he
graduated from the 8thgrade.
By then, he had his set of goal
in completing high school and
going to college to become an Air
Force officer. Twenty years later,
his goal and dreams came true.
He graduated from high school
at St. Edwards in Austin and
then got his degree from Rollins
College in Orlando, Florida. He
joined the AF in 1957 and retired
in 1979 as an AF Captain, which
enabled him to be hired as a
civilian by several international
aircraft companies overseas.
In 1990, his family decided to
come and settle in San Antonio,
and for the next 10 years, he
did substitute teaching. He is
now busy maintaining his rental
properties and enjoying his two
grandchildren.ver menos
