                                 In Memory of
           Senator Ben D. Altamirano
     Senator Ben D. Altamirano, our title sponsor for the 2007 Tour of the Gila, died December 27, 2007 of a sudden heart attack. He was 77.
     Senator Altamirano was the longest serving member of the New Mexico Senate, serving since 1971. For the past 3 years, he was the Senate President Pro-Tem. Prior to that, he served 17 years as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. He was also a Grant County Commissioner for 4 years and a member of the Silver City Town Council for 10 years.
     Senator Altamirano was a remarkable human being. He had a contagious zest for life and he dedicated himself to helping all of us in Southwest New Mexico. He just loved helping others.
It was an honor to know him and a pleasure to have worked with him.
     Senator Ben D. Altamirano helped make the Tour of the Gila a much better event.
     We thank him for what he did for us and we will miss him.
