Bill McMillan
Asst. Copy Editor Fall 2009-Spring 2010

There is not enough space to express any of this adequately, so I’ve created a Facebook note that will be more complete and hopefully more exciting (with nicknames!). Everyone that works in-house has been extremely special. I will miss working with all of you.

Meredith: To my not-so-Siamese-Siamese-twin — You’ve done a phenomenal job steering the paper and staff. You never stopped caring about The D.O. and the people that made it possible. Hangman this summer?

Brian: You’re my best friend and I couldn’t have picked someone better to live with. It’s just special that we didn’t know a thing about each other coming in and ended up having a solid four years. We’ll hopefully shee you dish shummer shon!

Conor: There is too much to say when it comes to how many good times we’ve had. You are the person I can relate to most on campus, and I’m grateful to have you as a friend. I’m just glad you’ll be in Jersey this summer … BABY!

Joe: 712 Sumner has been missing you, man. You are one of the most stand-up guys I know, and I feel so lucky to have met you and everyone else on Floor 5 freshman year. I hope you’re doing well in Ohio.

Steph: To the tune of ‘Virtual Insanity’ — You do so much for everyone at the house, and we are all happy you decided to live with us dudes. Rock ‘N’ Joe’s again? <<Hand gesture>>

Brittney: You are one of the sweetest people I know. Conor is in good hands. Get your Newsday and Teen Vogue on this summer.

Abe: Still on for third holes? I hope foggy London-town treated you well.

Julia: You showed me last semester what it means to be a caring and compassionate writer. I hope Europe was fun.

Bethany: You have been one of the coolest and most consistent staffers. I’ll miss talking books. YOU smell! Kidding …

Beckie: When you’re not zesting mice or trying to buy Segways, I know you’ll do big things at The Daily Gazette this summer.

Kathleen: You’ve done some of the best news writing I’ve seen in the last four years here and did an awesome job coming in as assistant news editor. We’re all confident in you as managing editor. Eek!

Rebecca: You were one of the most reliable people on staff. It was a pleasure to sit next to you and talk about our love for clown-and-dinosaur adult cinema.

Flash: Is Flash one of the coolest people I know? Does Gambit have perfect hair and explosive-card-throwing abilities and exotic appeal? Hmmhooteehee Flash.

Tyler: <<ELBOW LOCK>> You’ve done some of the best sports writing I’ve seen since I’ve been here. Shut it down this summer at The Philadelphia Daily News.

Andrew: Playa — You’ve been one of the nicest and most genuine guys on staff, not to mention a great friend. Where the Pup Food at? Good luck at USA Today.

Tony: What’s going on here? I know you’ll be woopin’ Newsday’s a** up and down the street soon. I’ll miss talking Tarantino and WWE.

Lauren: I will never again ask you for a Start Page tease. I’ll miss throwing snowballs at you and giving you my friendship bracelet.

Katie: You have been one of the friendliest people on staff and have done an amazing job with design. There is no doubt that you’ll do a shut-it-down-worthy job next semester.

Carly: The drive to Penn State was one of the best times I had this semester, thanks in part to you.

Lucas: I got your pictures … they’re for our friendship album.
