Launch day
3…2….1…. WOW. What a fantastic experience. I am so very glad I waited. WHAT A RUSH. Fire, sound raging, and the pure power of manned space exploration. DAMN.

To think I will be on the plane now in less then 24 hours and be worlds away from what I know now. Betsy… Ashley….wftv….. What a fantastic summer. First of all I want to thank dave and bob. Without there support and awesome willingness to allow me to get my hands on everything I did the summer, I would have had an average internship… BUT I DIDN’T. I had far and away the best intership that I have ever heard of. I cant think of anything I could have been doing that could compare to the time I spent at WFTV. Julie… Thank you. Your cunning news sense has given me a new look to find the harder edge on what truly lies in a story. Dave… I cant say thank you enough to even begin to explain how much this past few months have meant to me. Congrats… You and Laurie are great. Bob Jordan… You are what all news directors should inspire to be. I have learned a great deal about the biz, and about news/life in general. Also I can’t think of someone else who enjoys being the funny one in the room as much as you. I am close, but I don’t have the talent to get the really good joke in quite yet. To the rest of the WFTV staff. You are an amazing staff. There isn’t any place that I would rather call my tv station. I learned and hopefully shared my talents. I can’t wait to return. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
