Miss Kansas 2008!

Maris and I drove over to Pratt, KS yesterday with Abe and Ashley to join Mom, Dad, both Grandma's, Gary, Aunt Marilyn, Zelka, Diane, and Kerry at the parade. Emily cruised confidently through Main Street in the new pink Mary Kay drop-top caddy. Li'l bro Daniel along with Casey and Tyler joined the expectant crew in the evening. We were quite the entourage as usual. The final festivities moved forward as the competition dwindled until one was left standing. The one left standing was none other than my sister, Emily Deaver, with the smooth jazz vocals and tasteful tinkling of the ivory. That's right, my sister, Emily Deaver, is the new Miss Kansas. Click here to verify. The Deaver clan feels like royalty. Now we're off to Vegas...no kidding!

Congratulation to you, your family and our new Miss Kansas Emily. As the Dad of Miss Kansas 2994, Megan Bushell, I know the pride and excitement you are experiencing and wish you all a great trip to Vegas. Go and savor the moment, support your sister, and have a great time. It is a life altering experience and one you will treasure for many years to come. We are so happy for you and please let us know if we can help Emily in her preparation in any way. We love this program and what it offers young, intelligent, vibrant and talented young women. Once again, congratulations. Don Bushell...proud Dad.

Ben, Congrats! Is your sister touring Kansas schools at all this year? Jordan and I would love to have her come our way and inspire our students with some awesome Jazz and her story of success. How could we get in touch with her to learn of her touring schedule? Also, we're looking forward to hanging out with you and Maris in several weeks. We plan to be in Manhattan sometime like the 17th-22nd of July. We'll be in touch about the details of our trip....-H. Northerns
