Day 194 — Yoda
14 Jul
[for Friday, July 13]
This, in honor of one of our copy editors, who lost his battle with lung cancer early Friday.
Kent was a quirky dude, but a really good copy editor. The thing that always makes me laugh when I think of him is how he’d do bicep curls with a dumbbell while reading proofs. And the sign he posted on his cube following the release of Hustle and Flow that said “Hustle and page flow” — a nerdy newsroom joke. And, of course, there was the giant Yoda that Kent won and erected on top of our cube island, that spent many months staring down at my desk.
He’ll be missed.
