DeLana Bush-Hamblin Returns to Campus She Remembers as Home
BY VALERIE ORLEANS
From Dateline (September 2, 2004)
Q:
What was it like opening
the campus?
A:
I really liked it because we
were able to work with the architects, Physical Plant and
design team from Cal State Fullerton to design the building
and rooms the way we wanted. I worked very closely with the
electricians and technicians. I had “hands-on”
learning so I learned where all the ports and electrical network
sys-tems are.
Q:
Now that you’ve been
here for two years, has the novelty of working in the place
where you used to live worn off?
A:
No. When I drive in, I’m
always look-ing around – I see the area where there
used to be a park or the area where I used to live. It’s
still fun.
And I love the people I work with. George Giacumakis, the
director of the El Toro Campus, is great. He used to get a
kick out of telling everybody that George Bush is my father.
That’s true – my father’s name is George
Bush. Now he keeps telling everybody how I used to live here.
