22 Frame 37: A Parting Shot We ' re the ones on the sidelines, in the stands, in front of your groups, behind in assignments, out in the rain, sticking lenses in faces and hanging out in the darkroom for hours on end. We ' re the GOLD BLUE photo staff — the worth-a-1000-words guys, practicing arcane alchemy, turning events into images — exact ing and forgiving magic. It would take more than a year and more pages than are between these covers to truly capture the visual range and diversity of the CAL experience. But we came closer than I thought possible in September. Nothing could have happened without the inspiring leadership and dedication of my friend and boss, P.D. The visits from Mr. Daniels didn ' t hurt, either. Denise, you ' re wonderful — could you put out the fire before you leave? Thanks to all the staff photographers — Jeff Rubin, Chris Williams, Bruce Grombowski, Joe Kobzeff, Fred Carruth and the rest who contributed photos. Y ' all know you made it happen. The sports-only photographers, Russ Wright and Paul Gosswiller, gave the book some truly fantastic photos. Jim the Dude Yudelson, friend and mentor — for the technical advice and photos — thank you. Mostly, I ' m grateful to you for showing me that the method of staying sane in this job was to stay crazy. Here it is, Berkeley. Enjoy it. That ' s a wrap, kids. Jim Weldy

21 • Why, you may ask, does a person spend an unknown amount of time, usually staying up till the wee hours of the morning, attempting to put together a yearbook. This endeavor entails drawing boxes on layouts, dealing with irate individuals (Senior Portraits?!), and, in general, ruin- ing health, both mental and physical. Well, if you asked such a question from a staffer, they would most likely mumble something about having a paper due and disappear faster than you can blink an eye. Perhaps it ' s the beer, or maybe the pizza. On the other hand, it can be their way of leaving their mark at this larger than life school. Maybe, it ' s because they have a chance to finally exhibit some of that latent creativity lurk- ing within, or perhaps it ' s the feeling of accomplishment that you get when the truck bearing the sacred books pulls in front of Eshleman Hall. Whatever the reason, these people are dedicated yearbook enthusiasts who give up not only hours, but what some would term a social life. Grades have been known to become non-existent, and classes, well, some yearbook people have yet to realize exactly what those are. It is because of their dedication that this yearbook, in all its glory, is brought to you. I dot ' NR1111111101 11111111111111Mit Gretchen Carner

Well, it ' s here, the moment we ' ve all been waiting for, putting the 1982 Blue and Gold to bed (editorial talk. They tell me I ' m allowed to do that!) No one can quite appreciate how hard it is for an editor to write this page. This is the final act of the show, much like the fat lady singing at the opera! The seemingly endless nights of deadlines that include pizza, beer, mass quantities of coffee, and the feel- ing that you ' ll never get to sleep have all come to an end. As a senior, it ' s especially hard to end all this fun. There are so many people who have helped in the production of the book both working on it and en- couraging me from the sidelines. First there are those dedicated staffers who have stay eu up c11111USL as many nights working on the book as I have. I want to thank Gretchen Carner and John Goff whose help in getting the sections to pull together was in- valuable. John: a special thanks for copy that made the whole experience worth it. Then there are the photographers without whom this book would not be possible. A very special thanks goes to Chris Williams and Joe Kobzeff. I also want to send a very special thank you to the Sports staff who took the mad ramblings of a crazed editor with almost a grain of salt. Your patience is greatly appreciated. J.B.: your words of wisdom are inspiring. I ' d also like to thank Larry Prozan for having enough faith in me to give me this job. There ' s another group of people who deserve more thanks than words on this page will ever ex- press. They are those who have seen me through the good times and the bad times, when 2 hours of sleep in three days has been par for the course. To Kelley, Bruce, Joel, and Frank here ' s a very, very special Thank-you. You all deserve so much more. Thank you for the laughter when I needed it the most. And to Scott, for playing the Devil ' s advocate and giving me strength, even when tearing everything apart. Thanks for the caring and understanding, you ' ll never really know how much it really meant. To Mom, Dad and Chuck, you ' re the best family an editor-in-chief could ever have. You gave me the confidence to believe that I could actually pull this project off. Then there are those who have suffered the pain and shared the joys of every step of this process. J.R.: Thanks for always being there to make me laugh, especially when things lacked all humor. To Jim Yudelson, thank you for the hugs and the voice of experience. They helped more than you ' ll ever know. These last two people have become my right hand people , best friends, and best drinking buddies a girl could have. (Anybody have a quarter ?) To Jim Weldy: Thank you for always being there, even if its just to put out fires! The dedication and believing in me even when you thought it wouldn ' t work have meant so much to me. Denise, what can I say; it ' s been too humorous. You ' re the best business manager one could have. Thanks for staying up all night working, rushing to the airport, making mid- night trips to the city, and bringing a spirit of dedica- tion that ' s very much needed on a yearbook staff. To both of you, thank you for the insanity that helped keep me sane A special thanks to the artisans who have made the impossible, possible. P.D.
