The bold footprints left at Perryton High School by George Brosowske have been gone for a short while. The new footprints he has made are just as bold and deep. The pace of these new prints has been moving very fast.

Brosowske graduated from PHS in 2015. Like his brother, Griffin, he had a stellar basketball career during his time here. He was also a gifted baseball player. Like his brother and his parents, Scott and Lisa, he is extremely intelligent. The kind of intelligence that is not common.

Brosowske moved to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech University after graduation. With the swiftness that he used to dash opponent’s hopes on the hardwood, he obtained his undergraduate degree at the speed of sound. He secured that degree in 2017. He then began his pursuit of a bachelor of science degree in nursing in that same year. By 2018, Brosowske had graduated with his BSA. The process only took him three short years.

Even though the apple often does not fall far from the tree, the journey during the fall can take several thousand miles and involve making the world a better place in the travel. That’s impressive because even a straight fall from the Shackelford tree creates an amazing person and the journey magnifies that.

Mindy Richardson Trujillo shines as one of Perryton’s finest products. She graduated from PHS in 1997 as an honor graduate. Mindy’s parents are the late Mike Richardson and Barbara Johnson.

She leads off our conversation with this, “I’m a very wordy person and was voted most talkative of my senior class and that hasn’t changed much!”

Trujillo attended San Angelo State University for a year after her high school graduation and then transferred to Texas Tech University. Her intelligence continued to shine there as well. She graduated cum laude in 2001 with a degree in psychology. She moved to Dallas after graduation and began teaching in a corporate childcare. However, her education was not complete at that point either.

“After my father passed away in 2002, I enrolled in the post-bachelor teaching certification program at the University of Texas at Dallas, which I completed in May of 2004,” she said.

Pruning roses should be an annual part of plant maintenance because it helps promote new growth and maintains their vigor, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Research expert.

Dr. Brent Pemberton, AgriLife Research ornamental horticulturist, Overton, said roses are best pruned before they begin growing after winter dormancy, typically between January and March depending on location.

Pruning helps promote growth and thins the plant to allow access to sun and air flow, Pemberton said. It also encourages new breaks to come from the base of the plant.

There are two types of roses – hybrid teas, which grow upright, and landscape roses, which have a bushy appearance. Hybrid tea roses grow flowers fewer in number but are much bigger and better for cutting and floral arrangements. Landscape roses present many flowers and make a better floral display within landscapes.
