Today is the birthday of my son-in-law, Gregorio Pacheco Ambriz. He is a fine husband, father, brother, uncle, son, son-in-law, soccer and baseball player, as well as coach. He is also passionate about anthropology and archeology and never stops learning. In addition, he is my go-to person for any bird, animal, or plant I what to know more about since he has spent much of his life outdoors, exploring, and also working on archeological digs. He is smart, steadfast, and supportive in all that he does and he loves Sarah and his kids with a singular devotion. Thank you, Gregorio, for being you. We are all better off having you in our lives.
