Teen Reporter Desiree G. (a budding success story of her own as the Youth of the Year at the BGCs of Pueblo Pojoaque, N.M.) was on hand last week to capture the stories and intrigues of the Alumni Hall of Fame class during the 2013 BGCA National Conference in Orlando, Fla. The eight-member class includes legendary baseball star Frank Robinson, Congressman Joaquin Castro (Texas), R&B singer/songwriter Raphael Saadiq and astronaut Capt. Winston Scott.
