believed best business college education figured high impressed job knew left models mother opened plenty role school three tough
There were plenty of role models for us. My mother believed in education and she put all three of us through college at Grambling. She did not have a high school education, but it was something she impressed upon us. After I graduated, I left Texarkana for California, because I knew I could not get a job here. I was in business with certification and accounting, so I figured it was best to go out West. So I went there. It was still tough to get in that field, but things opened up for me.
adequately game kerry pass protection running
Kerry did adequately well ... He had no running game and our pass protection slipped.
adequately depend factors game kerry maybe pass press protection reasonably running seen talk
I would think that would depend on who we talk to, what is available. I think Kerry did adequately well considering other factors maybe not seen by the press or fans. I think he did reasonably well. We had no running game and our pass protection slipped.
best player seen
Henderson's tough. She is the best player I've seen this year.
avoid central civil colleges happen hitting mean movement problems rights school streets taking tried
In Texarkana, school integration was approached quietly, because they didn't want to have the problems like those taking place in Little Rock. That didn't mean there weren't problems. In Little Rock, with the integration of Central High, that didn't happen quietly, so here they tried to avoid those problems. I was at Grambling at the time, and we were doing things for the civil rights movement there. We were hitting the streets like a lot of colleges did, so we started going to other campuses and other cities.
The important thing is to see how we do - the end result.
