Though the years bleed together, Sergio Hernandez still remembers a special Abilene High-Cooper High football game at Shotwell Stadium.
For the past 20 years, he was in charge of making the athletic home of Abilene ISD s two high schools look immaculate.
But that one night, it rained. And rained. Saturday morning, there were giant trucks pulling cars out of the mud, Hernandez said. Things like that you still remember.
Hernandez s 29-year career in the Abilene ISD maintenance department came to an end in December. But on Thursday, he joined other school district retirees, along with a number of employees who earned their milestone service awards, for a special ceremony at the Abilene Convention Center.
