First Child of 2020

Those of us who make Rockport home are fully aware of the enviable qualities that define our way of life. We’re blessed with a verdant peninsula, natural beauty, moderate climate, spectacular wildlife, and a warm, inviting populace.

It’s the residents themselves that make Rockport stand out from its neighbors ... friendliness, involvement and commitment to maintaining the unique charm that has been associated with our community.

With that in mind, the Sesquicentennial Committee would like to recognize those individuals and businesses whose contributions have brought Rockport to where it is today and what it will be in the future.

That honor goes to Loraleya Sylvia Duron, who was born at 9:24 am on February 17 at Bay Area Hospital in Corpus Christi.  She is the daughter of Velia Barajas and Jesse Duron and the youngest of four.

We think the Mayor has a new admirer.
