Few men in fact, have contributed so much to this state. The former governor is one who literally pulled himself up by his bootstraps in a legendary rise to fame and fortune in the New Mexico oil fields.Once he accomplished that success, he didn't pause to rest and enjoy his hard earned laurels. He set out to do his best by the state where he reached his goal. And New Mexico is the better for it.
