...and their memories

Blake Hennon
Blake started at the DT as a music reviewer, but wrangled by then-Theatre/Feature Editor Alexander Nguyen to write a few theatre reviews and feature pieces for him. As a reward for his services, Blake was sent to review a concert at the House of Blues while he was still under age. Blake, however, talked his way in and was able to review the concert on the balcony away from the guests and bar -- by himself. He moved on to the copy desk, which was perfect for him because he had a knack for using obscure words such as "avuncular" in his stories. Blake has a very dry sense of humor, which the office found out when he was editorial director and had to read about issues that no one on the staff gave crap about. Blake was also the one who broke the recount/revote curse that had befallen the editor in chief elections of late. (Gee, I hope this didn't read like a funeral eulogy.) Add your own memory

I was looking at your site the other night while I was at work. Anyway, I'm a junior at USC right now and I was the Sports Editor of the DT last fall (2001) and an Assistant Sports Editor before that in the Spring. I guess I came to the DT at the perfect time for a sports writer as I got to travel to the Great Eight with the men's basketball team, the College World Series with the baseball team and the Las Vegas Bowl with the football team. I'm currently working at the Daily News, doing agate and covering mostly prep sports. I've run across my fair share of DT alumni recently so I though I'd give you some updates. Add your own memory
