Dr. Hector continues to inspire

Jim, Dr. Jackie Ochoa and I spontaneously found this wonderful tribute to Dr. Hector P. Garcia, as we were honoring Dr. Ochoa at her graduation from UTMB Galveston on 5/31/2025. I always feel that my father is helping me from above every day. Yesterday, was one of those days to have come across his photo as a medical school student when he attended in 1936. He is an inspiration to everyone, and especially to Dr. Ochoa.
