Wesleying‘s Braille has a nice post today honoring the quality work of Rod O’Connor ’08 as a sandwich maker at Neon Deli. Apparently that is all coming to an end, and today will be his last at Neon.

I have my own testament to the character of Rod O’Connor, though it is non-Neon related. At the beginning of the semester, I was throwing a Blargus party, and somehow the door was ripped off the back of the house. Before anyone had even let me know what happened, Rod and Will Tomlinson ’10 swept in and reattached it. Apparently the door was just sort of sitting there, waiting for someone to return it to its rightful place.

Only another epic segment in the saga that is Rod O’Connor. (Thanks to Will as well).

About Ezra Silk

I have been interested in journalism ever since I was an editor at my high school student newspaper, where I was involved in a freedom of speech controversy that was covered in the local newspaper as well as local television and radio outlets. The ACLU became involved, and the ensuing negotiations lead to a liberalization of my school's freedom of expression policy. I worked as a summer intern at the Hartford Courant after my freshman year at Wesleyan, reporting for the Avon Bureau under Bill Leukhardt and publishing over 30 stories. At the Argus I have been a news reporter, news assistant editor, news editor, features editor, editor-in-chief, executive editor, blogger, and multimedia director. I have overseen the redesign of wesleyanargus.com, founding the Blargus and initiating ArgusVideo at the beginning of my time as editor-in-chief during the spring of my junior year. During my senior year, I have co-edited the Blargus with Gianna Palmer and founded Argus News Radio, a 15-minute weekly show produced by WESU 88.1 on which I conduct a weekly segment interviewing seniors about their thesis topics. I have written over 70 stories at the Argus and continue to do reporting and blogging as much as I can.
