“Called “Don Miguel” by many who know him, Lagunas immigrated to Louisville as a teenager from Mexico City more than 50 years ago.

A graduate of the University of Louisville’s J.B. Speed School of Engineering, Lagunas, 69, retired from Louisville Gas & Electric 12 years ago and now devotes his time to his life-long passion: building the Hispanic community.

In March, he was given a Mayor’s International Award for his work. Presented by Mayor Jerry Abramson, the awards are given to people who have made significant contributions to Louisville’s multicultural community.”*
