Brittini's heading back to KU



This is my niece, Brittini who is heading back to Kansas University in Lawrence for her sophomore year.
Man, I remember those days at Grambling like it was yesterday.
How things have changed for college students.
Brittini will be living in campus apartments. They are REAL apartments.
I lived in Jones hall at Grambling and let me tell you, it was no apartment!
I still have nightmares of the roaches and small space like a prison cell.
This child will have her own bathroom.
I am proud of Brittini. She plans to study medicine.

"Mr. Demil, We're ready for our close up."



This picture is so goofy to me, but I love it! Ian is into taking pictures and we captured this one while watching the pink panther.
I have never published a photo of myself without make up, so I really must love this shot.
Ian makes it all worthwhile.



This is David Haley with me at my Aunt Emma's house in Kansas City, Kansas recently.
David is the great grandson of Alex Haley. He's in the state senate in KS and hopes to get to Washington with Obama.
It's funny looking at this picture because I looked at how much we've aged. I knew David in my 20's.
He's a good guy and when he makes it to D.C., I got some funny stories to sell.
