HALL OF FAME MEMBER

Luis Ortega (born in 1944)
Accomplishments at Roy MiIler include Running Track in 1960, 1961, and 1962

THEN AND NOW - ROY MILLER VIETNAM VETERAN

Part of my story: Luis Ortega - I graduated from Roy Miller in 1962 and I ran track for all three years. Three days after I graduated from Texas A &I with a degree in Mathematics, and a minor in Chemistry and Master’s Degree from CC State University, I joined the U.S. Navy in 1967. We went to Vietnam to transport the UDT (underwater water demolition team) what is now called "Navy SEALS". After I proudly served my country, I was hired ten days later to teach teaching at Baker Junior High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. After 9 years at Baker, I transferred to W.B. Ray High School and taught Chemistry.

Luis is very active at his church, St Patrick Catholic Church. Luis, we are most proud of your accomplishments - Well Done - Go Navy!
