Nothing stops this Mustang Band percussionist

Enjoyed reading this inspiring article. SMU is fortunate that this fine young man chose to attend there. I'm glad to know that SMU cares about its students with disabilities and makes sure they have the same opportunities as everyone else. I hope to attend an SMU home game and see the band perform this season.

Reading this article about such a fine young man reveals a clear vision of what can lay ahead. Maybe with some cheering on, he will first try a blue mask along with some PVC pipes before designing the next Sears Tower. A well written article about a fine young man. I tip my hat in respect to the writer, Ricardo and his family.

I have known Ricardo's family for years and followed his successes at Bishop Lynch. After seeing Ricardo on the field, my pleasure in his decision to attend SMU was coupled with my pride in the university for recognizing this outstanding young man would certainly be an asset to the campus.
