Thanks - March 16, 2011 - 06:19 PM
I just wanted to thank you for the story on Kiefer Holman, he was an outstanding young man and will continue to be an inspiration for all those who knew him for a very long time.
Thanks Marcus! - March 30, 2010 - 08:43 AM
Glad you liked the Jaclyn North story...that one was very challenging because I had so much good information...editing was a struggle, but it came together. Thanks again!

Fair enough. Although my heart belongs to Lampard, I can't wait to see what Rooney does in June!
Thank ya! - February 4, 2010 - 04:36 PM
Thanks for the welcome message! I was a little skeptical when I saw you were a Red Sox fan, but I'll get over it. Should make for good conversation come April :) Looking forward to working with you!

So far so good. Yearbook deadlines are crazy. I am at the school all the time this week. And I spent my whole weekend up there. I have now become the Copy editor along with Photo Editor for both publications. I've rewritten 7 stoires in like 3 days. And I've got a lot more a head. lol. I'm wready for us to hit this deadline. Luckily, I get to come home and relax after that, along with study for finals which are this week. Ever heard of Dpchallenge.com? I'm about to start shooting for their competitions just to add more to my resume. Hope you're enjoying the job, as stressful as it may be. -Rachel

Good to meet you...through neighborsgo.com. Do you like Big Business? They're loud! I'm a loud guy too! It's nice to meet another loud person!

OK Marcus, I think you should add Baylor Bears to your favorite teams because they will prevail in the Big 12 this year. RG III cannnot be stopped!! :)
