@Hey! It’s cool to see some of the nice folks on campus getting a shout-out! How about adding some work-study guys/girls? The swipers and DFC kids and so on?
Some of them can make your day, too!
@barnard quad 4lyfe Um, why hasn’t bwog gotten to Rudy yet?
@Anonymous came here to suggest Rudy! He’s a character. He works late at the Sulzberger desk.
@Alum Pascale is the best, but only by a hair over Wilma. I remember one time seeing her on the subway on 96th Street. It was a while after I graduated and long since I had my last omlet at John Jay. We both had that mutual, I know you but from where look, at least for half a second, until we recognized each other. Before you tell me “how could you not recognize Wilma” she looks quite different in street clothes.
@we must take a moment of silence for Amy formerly of Hamdel.
