I was very fortunate to have known Mr. Bickham. I worked with him many years ago through the Alamogordo Public Schools, and easily became very good friends with him and his family. His kindness and encouragement helped me to persevere through very trying times. I was even honored and fortunate enough to have had a seat at his dining room table on many occasions. In this time of sorrow, I say to his beautiful family that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I join you in grieving the loss of a true and wonderful friend. He will be greatly missed, but forever remembered. Yours truly, Antonio Cardiel and family.
