When I first moved to Houston in the 1970's there was vibrancy to the city.  It's still there!  Houston is a forward thinking, progressive, architecturally-advanced and ethnically diverse city.  It has a great vibe.  My family always thought Houston was the "IT" city.  And we still do.

Why do I love Houston?  Where do I begin?  Obviously a big tug for me is coming back to visit my family.  But I also love attending events at The University of Houston.  UH is a huge part of my life.

30 years ago as a member of The University of Houston golf team, I got to play every course in the city.  They welcomed us with open arms which typifies the spirit of Houston.  Memorial Park is a treasure and is one of the best municipal golf courses in the country.  I am also partial to Royal Oaks, Shadow Hawk, Houston Country Club and River Oaks.

Houston’s real warmth comes from the people.  It is a big city with small town hospitality.
