Louisiana Rotarian Rick Pittman entertained us with "Stories of The Rio Grande". Although Rick is not from Texas, he has visited many times and has developed a love for the rich history and heritage of our state and especially The Rio Grande Valley. Rick sang several of his original songs and told lots of stories. Thank you Rick, and it was great to see you again!
