In this final issue of The Observer 2011-2012 I want to publicly extend a tremendous Yashar Koach to the entire Observer staff on their hard work that made this newspaper and this year successful, and specifically…
To Sophie, Rachel, and Marganit – remember the early days, scoops and breaking news every night? From then till now, you’ve been my strongest sounding board and my go-to writers. Thank you for giving me the chance to work with you.
To Hannah – working with you has been exciting! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and never being afraid to just ask, because you never know what can happen.
To Tali – approval matrix. ‘Nuff said?
To Aimee – no matter which section you worked for, you were dedicated, on time (if not early), and professional, and I appreciate that, thank you!
To Atara – number one roommate/editor combo. Thank you for your support.
To Talia and Elana – for some truly unique Opinions, thank you.
To Shulamit and Naamah – I have no words. You two worked fantastically to build a strong Science & Health section, on time and responsible. You worked hard and should be proud.
To Meira – I’m impressed by your dedication, to the paper and to strengthening the YU athletic spirit.
To Ann – My. Right. Hand. Your dedication, your company throughout the long nights (and mornings), and your advice were indispensable.
To Julia – always on top of your photographers, always top-notch. Thanks!
To Nomi – thank you for being so dedicated.
To Shaindee and Sarit – thank you for stepping in to help figure things out, and for your hard work.
