My best memory of The Observer coincides with the most challenging story that ever came up in my four years. The night we learned that University President Emeritus Fr. Theodore Hesburgh had died was the night I was supposed to turn the editor-in-chief office over to Greg Hadley (’16), and the overnight scramble to put out the “In Memoriam” issue was the greatest example of teamwork and cooperation that I’ve ever been a part of.
