While I was walking from the Schine Center lunch to the ribbon-cutting at Newhouse, an attractive young woman came up to me and said "Hi, Joyce."    Quickly noting the puzzled look on my face (I am notorious for not recognizing faces), she quickly added:  "I'm Demi Douglas, Sherman Douglas' daughter."

I had met Demi once ... very briefly... three years ago at a basketball game when she was a high school senior on a college visit to SU with her father.   She is now a junior at the Newhouse School where she is doing very well.    She clearly has a great future in PR ... because a gift for remembering faces is an invaluable asset.

Anyhow,  her 1 pm class had been cancelled,  but the students were given the following assignment: "Go to the ribbon-cutting ceremony...  interview someone connected to it... and write an article about the interview."     So since I am on the Newhouse Board... and a certain auditorium was the site of the day's two symposia,  she  decided I would be an appropriate interview subject.

We spent a delightful 30 minutes chatting.  I hope she gets an A on her paper.
