Alex Hildebrand is an engineer by training and a farmer by vocation.He has a lifetime filled with accomplishments ranging from serving on local school boards, and being a successful farmer, to being a past national president of the Sierra Club.But it was arguably his being one of the true students of California water issues that earned him respect from politicians in Sacramento to water experts up and down the state that gained him entrance into the Manteca Hall of Fame in 2007 in the field of agriculture.A different route took the late Antone Raymus to his induction in the Manteca Hall of Fame in 1996 in the area of business. He parlayed a youthful investment in buying a small house in San Mateo as a rental into a home building empire that at one time allowed him the distinction of being able to claim almost one out of every four homes in Manteca was Raymus-built. Raymus used his profits for an endless repertoire of community endeavors including $100,000 in seed money to build the Boys & Girls clubhouse and $300,000 to launch Give Every Child a Chance.Nominations are now being sought for others to join Hildebrand and Raymus in the Manteca Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2012.
