Brian Tahmosh

Feature Editor, Asst. Feature Editor

Fall 2006 – Spring 2007

What a long strange trip it has been. I never thought I would be sitting in the feature editor chair for the last few months. It wasn’t always the plan, but it was amazing. In the end I got to work at a great office where I met some great people. It wasn’t always fun, and it sure as hell was hard. At this point I’m ready to go home, ready to get some sleep, ready to get my life back, but I will always look back on these days with a sense of pride. I am just honored to have my name on the same publication as so many great people, and I hope I maintained the legacy they left behind.

Ethan: You were the hardest on me out of anyone and I learned so much because of it. Out of anyone, I always respected your criticism the most because I knew it would make me better.

Andy: You are an amazing writer and I know you are going to be a great editor as well. I can leave without worrying because I know the section will be even better next year. I just hope I wasn’t too hard on you, because I am convinced I will be working for you some day.

Heather: You have grown so much as a writer and an editor, and I am so glad I was there to see it. I will miss all the entertainment you brought to the office with your macheds and inappropriate remarks.

Heath: I thought you were going to be quiet and shy when you interviewed for the job, but I have been amazed by how much you came out of your shell this year. The office was so much fun with the three of you in it.

Katie: I know we had some disagreements over certain house decorations, but I really did learn so much from you. I tried every day to live up to your standard as an editor and I hope I did OK.

Schonbrun: I learned so much from working with you on women’s basketball. You have so many great ideas and you were really the leader out there. I’m really going to miss all the jokes and the fights with the Pepsi machine.

ZB: You are such a character. There was never a dull moment in the sports office and I’m just grateful you guys let me escape to watch games and talk about fantasy teams whenever I needed a break.

Gelb: You’re going to do a great job in Sports next year because you have the drive and the desire. If anyone was meant to lead a section, it was you. I can’t wait to work for you as a writer.

Levin: Without you I would never have had the fire to go toe to toe with Bumpus in Media Cup. We may have had some late nights waiting on your design, but they were always fun.

5-0: We’ve worked together on some great projects and you have really begun to show what you are capable of. Keep pushing yourself, because I know you can do great things some day.

Jackie: I’ve missed having you in the office to lighten up the mood on the most tension-filled nights. You are so passionate about your writing and I know that is going to take you places.

A.J.: To be totally honest, I wondered if you were ready for the job at the beginning, but you have far exceeded my expectations, and you have been an amazing boss and friend. The D.O. is in great hands.

Dana: You were like an extra editor this semester and it was great having your experience in the office. I’ll never forget the time you beat the hell out of me after I declared this was my office.

News: Thanks for working with us and letting us have the front page this year. We were able to communicate so much better than in the past and it was great to have two sections working together instead of competing.

Photo: ‘It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.’ Thanks for the belt.

311 Comstock: Thanks for keeping me sane this year. I appreciate you guys doing the dishes and taking out the trash and basically cleaning up after me. I hope next year we can catch up more because I will actually be able to see you all for more than an hour a week.

Lesley: I am so happy I worked here just for the fact that I was able to meet you. You are such an amazing person and you have already done so much for me. This was my most difficult semester, and I never would have survived without you. There really isn’t enough space here for me to tell you how much you mean to me.
