What started out as a distraction from schoolwork has turned into a nationally-recognized talent.

Robert Ramirez, a 1987 graduate of San Benito High School, offered his abilities to “doodle” to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, his employer, to illustrate a nationally-distributed coloring book called “Hunter Goes To Work.”

“It was entirely accidental,” said Ramirez. “I was doing some training in Atlanta, Georgia about a year or two ago. What happened is I was vandalizing the entire school there in Georgia. I was drawing cartoons on every available board and piece of paper that I could find because that’s what I did.”
