Cuando estaba por cumplir 90 años de edad (nació en Monterrey el 16 de octubre de 1918) murió el licenciado Roberto Guajardo Suárez, que después de una intensa presencia pública hace 35 años pasó a la discreción de la actividad privada. Graduado en la Escuela Libre de Derecho, fue uno de los fundadores del Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, que dirigió de 1947 a 1951. Dirigía una empresa refresquera cuando en 1960 fue elegido presidente de la Confederación Patronal de la República Mexicana. La dirigió durante 13 años, hasta que en mayo de 1973 fue obligado a renunciar por influencia del más acentuado conservadurismo empresarial, del que Guajardo Suárez había ido alejándose paulatinamente. Entre dificultades sembradas por extraños resabios, vivió con dignidad el último y prolongado tramo de su vida con su hijo Julio y BlancaN.
