To celebrate my last day... Mollys Top Ten WILL Memories (in no particular order) 1.Watching Ed Kieser hold a paper W in the corner of a giant cardboard box while kids pretended to forecast the weather during a science night at the planetarium. 2.Making David Inge laugh out loud on the air during radio pledge. 3.Parading down Clark Street surrounded by co-workers as they escorted me to my final radiation appointment at Carle. 4.Singing my own rendition of a Johnny Cash song during an Opryland pledge program. “I hear that pledge break coming. It’s rolling round the bend. And I ain’t heard the phones ring, since I don’t know when. (I’m pretty sure I wore a Dolly Parton wig and shared my cowboy hat with Jay Pearce on the air that night. And I think we actually made some money.) 5.Working Boo at the Zoo with Heather Ainsley Miller, Jeff Bossert, Rita Schulte, Les Schulte, and others. 6.Meeting Elmo and Grover and Levar Burton at PBS conferences. 7.Going on road trips with Henry M. Radcliffe III and George Hovorka. I will never forget the flopping fish. 8.Hosting a press conference in the state Capitol Rotunda with Beth Spezia, Linda Miller, Ana Torstenson Kehoe, and Kean Armstrong (my public broadcasting sisters from across the state) 9.Doing Giggle: Goggle bits with David Thiel during and Electric Company pledge special. 10.Surviving the first Mr. Steve event at the Champaign Library. It had all the perks of the Superdome after hurricane Katrina. I will miss…the strong women of WILL (you know who you are, ladies), George Hovorka’s morning coffee announcements, alliterative swearing (um, Jan?), lunch runs with Michael Owen Thomas, access to cool costumes, my quiet office mate, the silent hallways of Campbell Hall in the wee hours of the morning, and every single member of the WILL family.
