Managing Editor: Nancy Nugent

And now, as one of Street's managing editors, Nugent will be designing her name into just about everything. Her dad, Mike Nugent, couldn't think of any funny childhood stories, claiming "she's such a sweetie; there's nothing really embarrassing to say about her." Her long-time friend Natividad Valdez, however, recalled a few interesting episodes. "Nancy once drove the wrong way down a freeway and she went pretty far before realizing," Natividad said, as she remembered her life flashing before her during those moments. Natividad also remembers Nancy at a party after having a few too many drinks. "She saw this hot guy she had loved since sixth grade, but as soon as she started talking to him she felt sick? he ended up holding her hair back while she puked," Natividad said. He never did go out with her. But as Wayne from Wayne's World once said, "If you blow chunks, and he bolts, it was never meant to be." Or something like that. Don't throw up your hands in defeat, Nancy. After all, how many other Whartonites have dyed their hair orange? -- Lauren Shaffer
