I would like to congratulate Bill Casey on his retirement from The Daily Iowan. I know that Bill has put his heart and soul into the Daily Iowan for more than 40 years and his efforts helped create a well-respected, high quality daily paper during his tenure.

Bill gave me my first job at the University of Iowa in 1973, stuffing advertising circulars into the papers at 4 o’clock in the morning. Not an ideal job for an 18-year-old but I did learn the value of hard work.

Best wishes to Bill as he enters his post-Daily Iowan phase.
