The hundreds of hours I have spent on the University Crusader are easily some of my favorite moments at SAU. Never again will I work with such sharp, dedicated and passionate people. These college years hold that part of our lives in which our ideology has not yet run out. Because of this, the amazing people I have worked with have raised this newspaper to the highest level it's been in its 61 years.

Among those I need to thank are my girlfriend Whitney, who has always been patient and understanding with my bad habit of spending more time with my projects than time with her. To the art professors who told me in my junior review that the time I spent on the paper was pointless: thanks, but no thanks. Thanks to Amy Dodds and Rob Clement, who made a world of difference on the design team, and to Keegan, MJM, my fellow seniors and the entire '08-0'09 staff for their perseverance. And thank you to every SAU student and faculty member who reads the Crusader and the Pulse, whether you hate it or love it.

Finally thanks to Aaron Mueller, whose fault it is that I am on staff in the first place. I hope one day to have another Editor in Chief half as dedicated as he is.

For being that one night that I could both dread and look forward to, I say my farewell to the Crusader. This is my final production night as Production Manager, and it's sure to be another all-nighter. I wouldn't have it any other way.
