Check out that smile

I love this photo of Cokie Roberts, taken by Ken Davis as she signed books at Wichita State University's Metroplex. She was on an author's tour to promote her latest book, an updated version of her best-selling "We Are Our Mothers' Daughters," and I was impressed with how generous she was with her time. She gives off a definite vibe that she doesn't suffer fools gladly, but she was warm and kind to the fans who approached her at her many campus events. After all the years she's spent on NPR and ABC, they feel like they know her, and she responded in kind.

I was at her second appearance, the Q & A with WSU's provost. It was very good. Such a sharp woman.

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a chance to check out the show on WSU-TV, Ch. 13, to see what you missed! (see my previous post for details)
