In the “other news” category, I wanted to post an update to a very important project that has been in development.
On June 18, 2013, the San Angelo, Texas City Council approved the renaming of Rio Vista Park, to Jaime Padron Memorial Park, to honor USMC veteran and Police Officer Jaime Padron, who was killed on duty, in 2012.

Please scroll to 0:29:23 in the video and hit play, to view the City Council discussion of this project.
Below, is a Google Earth image of the park, which is under renovation and when work is completed, will be re-opened under Jaime’s name. I will be there in July and will take some pictures of the ongoing renovation efforts.
This project was the result of many folks coming together and working towards a common goal, and as the initiator of this important project, I can’t say enough thanks to the great people in the San Angelo City Council, specifically Mr. Johnny Silvas, of Single Member District 3, Matt Baldwin, Brian Bylsma, and Johnny Padron. Thanks to Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo for his tremendous support. These great folks were the reason that this was successful.
Thank YOU
