Gotta go with Aggie Ben Villalon www.subplantsci.org/Potts/1992%20Villalon.htm.

Not a household name, but body of work is impressive. His Valley Rat pedigree is 100%.

Norm Evans from Donna played for Dolphins. Rachel Elizondo Mclish- bodybuilder/model from Harlingen.

Rachael McLish is a good one, I thought of her earlier. She was as big a celebrity as the Valley has seen in the 80's that is for sure.

Hugo de la Cruz!!!
I used to love his show on KGBT, I used always listen to it when I was in the RGV during football season. Really good entertainment. The characters that called in were hysterical. He had a lot of write up years ago about the corridos from the high schools and such that got air play. There was an article in Texas Monthly about him if I am not mistaken.

The 5' me was a shrimpy white boy when I went to Jr. High with him. The 6'3" me today would never put up with the BS.

I don't think Roy Clark was from Browntown.

I know some folks that went to HS with Ronnie Dunn, they all speak highly of him.

Famous person right now I would still go with Judge Hinojosa.

Does Johnny Canales live in the Valley? When I lived there many years ago he was always doing commercials.

I always thought Johnny Canales was from Corpus? Or at least that is where he got his start.

His enthusiasm was always neat, a lot of people watched that show.

Famous as far as in the entertainment industry I'd think you have to go Thomas Haden Church from Harlingen.

I do think that Harlon Block has got to be one of the most famous from the Valley due to his inclusion in the IWO Jima Memorial, but unfortunately his name is not very well known.

Ronnie Dunn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thomas Hayden Church.

Also, Cristela Alonzo, from San Juan, just had a sitcom on ABC.

Ronnie Dunn is certainly more famous but I read somewhere the he went to like 13 schools in 12 years growing up. How long was he actually at PIHS?

I have lived in the valley for a lot of years and have been thinking about the folks that youall have been suggesting. Some of them have a lot to offer, but I was thinking about someone that was around for a long time and represents/ed the valley well. Although I have never met him I believe that Tom Landry should be at the top of the list.

He is a gentleman and always represents himself well. No drunken outbursts, no cheating (yep, I am talking about the Patriots,). He was generous in victory and appropriate in defeat. He is just a generally good guy and did his job faithfully for many years. What a great role model!
All organizations are perfectly aligned for the results they get.
