Mission
Mission is named for the chapel built at La Lomita ("little hill") on a former Spanish land grant. During the 1850s, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate began serving the ranches between Brownsville and Roma. La Lomita was a resting place midway through their 100-mile circuit. In 1908, developers John J. Conway and James W. Hoit bought land from the Oblate Fathers and established the town of Mission, just north of La Lomita. They advertised throughout the Midwest, and soon farmers arrived by rail, wagon, and automobile. Through the efforts of Nebraskan John H. Shary, the citrus industry flourished, and Mission became renowned for its grapefruit. Three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry, baseball great Leo Najo, and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient JosAA(c) M. Lopez have all lived in Mission. Their tradition of leadership continues within the fields of medicine, education, military service, and ecotourism.
THE FALCON FUND
Colonel Dawson ́s quest for answers and justice leads us on a guided tour across borders. Despite the odds, shaking the towers of London and Eastern Drug Cartels, his justice is delivered efficiently. Overcoming his losses and pain, Dawson ́s character manages to leave the reader of The Falcon Fund with a feeling that heroes do exist—Tama Bankston KSQM 91.5 fm Sequim, WA. “A son ́s death is the genesis for a breakneck paced search for the truth that spans decades and continents. A former Special Forces Scottish soldier, the father relentlessly pursues, discovers and attempts to foil a four-year master plan involving the Falcon Fund, drugs, death, and destruction. This story reads like a nonfiction on steroids with sharp twists and turns requiring a seatbelt. Savor the ride from the hero ́s adrenalin rush to uncover his son ́s demise”—Susan Rhein US Army Lt Col (RET).
