Devin Demyanovich and Our Trip to Duke University

PV Grad Devin Demyanovich -
athletic trainer at Duke

Devin and Lulu -
Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke
Last weekend we took our camper to the FSU at Duke game. The kids and grandkids came down from Washington and Richmond. We had a blast together.

When we posted on Facebook that we were visiting Duke - one of my former students Devin Demyanovich - contacted us and offered to give us a tour of the Duke Athletic Department. We love behind the scenes tours - and enthusiastically accepted.

Devin was my student at Panther Valley. She went to college at Penn State. Then got her masters at UNC Greensboro. When a job opened at Duke - she applied and got the job. She is a trainer for varsity athletes. It was fun seeing all the students interact with her. She has a great job in a great place. Again - as a teacher - I love to see our kids succeed.

We enjoyed the game - spending time with the Everhart 9 - and exploring 1400 miles in our camper.  We stayed in the camper 4 nights.

Our next adventure is Germany and England - Nov 1 to 17. We will visit one of Lulu's students that lives in a castle in Germany. She is a librarian in a Department of Defense school in Germany. Lulu also will make a presentation in Scotland.
