Ramon Rivera has a smile that immediately raises your serotonin levels. He may modestly describe himself as "a public school teacher," but the students whose lives he has touched through Mount Vernon High School Mariachi, Folklorico, and Latinos in Action know just how much of an understatement this is. In this freewheeling and delightful conversation with Ramon we learn about his background, the programs he manages, his aspirations for our kids in the Magic Skagit...and what it was like to hear his trumpet hero perform at the age of 88.
