Ernesto Salazar

Where do I start?

I am the only guy I know that has had 3 mother in laws and has never been divorced!

Many of you know I married one of our classmates Dyanne Chandler Salazar.

Dyanne works as the Federal Grants Administrator for the State of NM Environment Department in SF. She loves getting up at 4 am to commute everyday on the Park and Ride Bus! She has worked for the State for 13 + years. But Dyanne will tell you her real job is managing her thriving EBAY Business (Horse and Beauty). She tells me we are going to be rich someday off her EBAY profits.



We have been married for 14 years.
Seems like 40 years, oops I mean 14 days.

I have been in Banking now for 17 years and now we settled in Las Vegas. We were gone for 10 + years living in Espanola and Santa Fe.

I serve as the SVP-Senior Lender for Community 1st Bank (fka 1st National Bank Las Vegas) since August 2005. I am also fortunate enough to also have a seat on the Board of Directors. We changed our name in December 07. We should have changed it to the Class of 1988 Bank.

We have Seven (7) classmates who work at the Bank. If you include the spouses, we have Nine (9)classmates of the 1988 class associated with the Bank. Three 1988 classmates work in my department (Christine and Cecilia "The Larson Twins") with Cecilia being my assistant. Just ask her she does all the work, I just show up and take all the credit. For you that did not know the "Twins" just celebrated their 38+ B-DAY on August 17TH.




When Pam Sandoval and Christian asked to see if we would donate to the establishment of the scholarship Community 1st Bank not only contributed, we funded both $1,000 scholarships ($2,000 total) to be awarded.


MY ALLEGED HOBBIES:
I still rope a little bit, but a worn out shoulder and my job prevent me from roping much.

Been playing more golf these days. Now that NMHU has opened the new golf course, I plan to be out there quite a bit. I may just have to enroll @ NMHU so I can get the student discount.
Rhiannon is playing now and I hope to make that our father / daughter event. She plans on playing in YABL come this fall once it starts up.

Lot's of good memories and times to remember.


Only one I would like to forget and that would be A cold winter night's party at Tim Smith's House.
