June 3rd

The Milks Tribune $12,600 X 4

Philadelphia, PA June 3, 1989

Today at the Academy of Music in Philadel­phia, the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medi­cine will have its commencement ceremony for graduates. One hundred and twenty three stu­dents will step forward as new Doctors of Podiat­ric Medicine.

Four years ago, 146 people from many differ­ent backgrounds and life experiences gathered

together in a nondescript classroom, the first of three that would become home to all alike. These classrooms would each take on their own charac­ter, as the laughter, whispering, chattering and moans of their inhabitants created the bonds of the Class of 1989.

If only walls could talk . . . they would <have much to retell about the Class of '89. Too numer­ous to recall, everyone has their own special memories and nightmares.

Albeit, graduation will commence today. A day we always thought was too far away is suddenly here. We will leave behind friends made and times shared, but we will always have PCPM, for good or for bad, as a four year mark on our lives. We are still all very different with different ideas and manners, but PCPM will al­ways be our common bond for the past, present and future.

%

A well tread path.

PCPM as we know it. A fairly distinguished building despite the milieu of confusion and change inside its "hallowed halls."

10

The future . . . forgotten and ill managed.

Attendance was never one of our stronger points

Podiatric Cocktail Knowledge Student A. "Well, we'll post the rearfoot with 3

degrees of varus and 3 degrees of motion, intrinsically post the fore­foot and balance the rearfoot to vertical."

Student B. "Why don't we forget the rearfoot posting and add a Morton's extension."

Student C. "Forget the orthotics. Give them a ready made Schaeffer."

Wednesday afternoons.

Do You Remember . . .

When Paul and Tony appeared in class as breasts? Al Snyder? Farside comics and "Poodle with a mo-hawk"? the dog, turtle, and bunny lab? the rumor that jejunum was going to be on the test? Biweekly exams? Sanner's description of the midtorsal joint? Big league Lenny Jacobs? The video of the bikini clad women with the suction cup thighs?

The unbiased drug reps? Thin man comics? Dov Rubenstein? Scott Chalson, the pododentist? Goldenberg vs. Schoenhaus? Harry Sturtz? Joe's fish tie, "ode to mighty Joe", Joe-Brown - Sequard Syndrone? Jasons? Surfing on tables at Smokey Joe's? Patches, Dr. Bate's dog? Mall tavern? Wedsday morning conferences? Jay's Sears Automotive T-shirts?

The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness

— Montaigne

Bob, truly determined to understand the intricate boney landmarks of the human foot, braids this model to his head.

As technical consultant for the movie Blue Vel­vet, what beer do you recommend - Heineken or Pabst Blue Ribbon?

14

Dr. Zulli's secret was found. Hey, are those snake eyes?

Could you explain how the sex pili workS again?

Changes in latitude, changes in attitude.

The cup, which holds a perfect attendance re­cord, often made it to class several minutes be­fore Debbie.

It is true that pets and their owners often have similarities.

In a never ending attempt to remain awake dur­ing class, many ingenious attempts were devised. Here Clay and Joe attempt to prop up their eye­lids with poker chips. While this method initially met with success, rumor has it that both Joe and Clay were treated for a chief complaint of chronic dropping eyelids at Jefferson. The diagnosis of atrophy of the levator palpebrae muscles necessi­tated rigorous P.T. under the tutelage of Joe Bruno. To this day Joe admits to still "working out" these muscles by tying wet tea bags to his eyelashes and doing three sets of ten three times a week.

This rare photograph of the interior of the Mall Tavern was taken during the annual Radiology Party. Dr. Zulli agreed that it was not the best idea to have the practical exam after the party but that he was amused by some of the responses. The X-rays of Gout ellicited the most varied an­swers. "It looks like an axial view of the Amazon River basin shot with a Nikon one touch," ex­claimed one student. Another student, claimed that the Gouty tophus "looks like Elvis," and is said to have called PM magazine with his discov­ery, . . as of yet they have not returned his call.

Here, first year students prepare to step-out to their first ever plantar calcaneal navicular liga­ment ball. The memorable quote of the night went to Paul D., when he said "Well guys, I'z got my three babes, what are you guys gonna do for dates?" Needless to say twistin Tim Tobin, Bruce Greenbaum, Jim "The Hallux" Ludden and Big Bob had a good time as did all.

While the mood below seems very somber, it is a clever front for a world renowned Podiatric biomechanics think tank. This picture captured a rather heated debate between Ron and Ann over the oblique midtarsal joint.

Joel Morse, noted restaurant reviewer is joined during this meal by classmate Karen Galli. Joel is sampling the house special, four martinis and a chicken nugget.

Al Cecchini would frequently spend his lunchtimes in the classroom. On this particular afternoon, Al is quite amused by the antics of Jim Wang and Al Spector (not shown in pictures.) who decided to try something differ­ent by roasting an entire suckling pig over the overhead projector.

A Day In The Life . . . A day in the life of a fourth year stu­dent. 12:00 AM Student goes to bed after a night of studying the Gino Scartozzi book. 2:00 AM Student wakes up in a cold sweat worrying about whether he will match with CASPR. 4:00 AM Student wakes up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare where a residency director shoves thin strips of TL61 under his fingernails, after he gives uncorrect answers to interview questions. 6:30 AM Alarm wakes up student. Stu­dent, who is now "refreshed," heads to the bathroom to shower. Student real­izes he must hurry to make Polyclinic, which starts at 7:45, and has a gracious 15 minute grace period till 8:00 AM. Student realizes that entering the class­room at 8:05 AM is strictly verboten. Because he is not 5 minutes late but actually 20 minutes late, a fact that has been laboriously taught by the instruc­tor. 7:59 AM Student arrives to Poly Clinic on time and is thrilled that the lecture is on the topic of surgical correction of synpolymacrodactylism. The student pauses and is overwhelmed by the rele­vance of the topic. 8:58 AM Student arrives at his designat­ed clinic module and meets his "recep­tive and eager to learn third year." 9-10:00 AM No patients show, student becomes hyperglycemic from eating candy from Central Supply. 10-11:00 AM No patients show. Students spread residency rumors and find out what programs have shut down since the day before. 11-11:30 Student takes his ulcer medica­tion and prays that no patients show. 11:30 AM Patient arrives with mycotic nails that even Dr. Krausz didn't pre­pare us for. 12:30 PM Patient's nails no longer re­semble adult Ram's horns. Patient re­quests that the student use the burr. 12:45 PM Student and patient leave room that is now enveloped in aerosol­ized keratin and hyphal spores. 12:48-12:56 PM Student enjoys lunch from hot dog vendor. 1:00-3:00 PM Radiology class begins. Student is lucky enough to be called on and drilled for 10 minutes straight. 3-5:00 PM Cadaver surgery begins. Fi­nally the student is able to sleep peace­fully. 5-6:30 PM Cadaver lab on how to do osteotomies on bone with the consisten­cy of Farina. 7-7:30 PM Student eats heated TV din­ner. 7:30-12:00 Student with coffee in hand opens up his Gino Scartozzi book . . . 21

4 Years 48 Months 1460 Days . . . and still smiling. We've withstood the test of time.

"Buy My Book JJ

Lenny Has A New Book . . . Just Say No.

The Jag screeched to a halt just outside my front door. Almost imme­diately there was a rap on the storm door. It was Sunday morning and I still had my coffee-stained jammies on. Half unconscious I shuffled to the door, not realizing that the fun­nies were stuck to my fuzzy slippers. I peaked through the peep-hole in the door, expecting one of our infre­quent visits from Jehovah's Witness — but, Lord help me, it was HIM! Still thinking unclearly, and too shocked to wretch, I unlatched the door. Before I could holler, "LEAVE!" — he jumped through the doorway.

"Hiya-Hiya-Hiya," he began. "I'm going door to door selling copies of my NEW book." There he stood (or should I say twitched) wearing one

a comprehensive manner... rs are also a very good aisy M. Ofew arvard Medical School

of those shiny suits and holding a new copy of a very familiar old book. On and on he rambled, "Updated . . . Improved . . . NEW book . . . is that my beeper . .. even's got AIDS drugs . . . when I was a resident... saved a life 'cuz I had the book." Finally, his beeper did go off. He walked to my phone, still talking, and dialed some numbers. "Mind if I borrow yer phone? Thanks a lot," and just as abruptly hung up and said, "Adios muchacho . . . here's my card . . . NEW book . . . let's do lunch . . . gotta go . . . BYE!" And "SLAM" sent the door.

During the entire interaction I had not moved from the spot where I had answered the door. I spent a confused moment by the door and then reached down and peeled the

comics from the bottom of my slip­per. I mosied back to the couch, laid down and thought, "Holy shit — is it already time for Lenny to have an­other NEW book?"

I am a ship, now finally set free to sail. The many years of preparation are about to be tested In open waters.

The support of my mother, sister, grandparents, family and friends Power my sails with never ending winds of belief. The memory of my father is my guiding light by which I will navigate. But it is the love and trust of my wife and best friend That will keep me afloat- even when seas become troubled waters.

I am a ship, and now I must leave port. But I am not empty. For I am filled with treasures and pearls of wisdom. And I search for new horizons.

Sailing is seldom without complications. I know. I have been there before, but never alone. The people whom I love and'who love me will be close behind To weather with me our voyage into The unknown.

I miss you both. To Linda, my sister and best friend. Thank you for all the late nite phone calls and gossip sessions. Thanks for all the weekend trips down with the girls. You brought home a little closer. You are the best sister a brother could ever ask for, thanks for being there. To my brother Peter, thanks for all the books you supplied me with, maybe now I will get a chance to read them. Thanks for listening when I needed someone to talk to. To my cousin John, thanks for washing and waxing my car whenever I came home. A special thanks to Mrs. Rita Whitney for all the care packages you sent me back with and to all my toy feet. I would like to thank all my friends here at PCPM. We have had a lot of great times together. You made the bad times seem good and the good times an unforgetable memory. To a group of special friends, we have spent a lot of time together over the past four years, and I just want you to know that they have been some of the best times of my life. I just hope that we all remain as close as we are right now. Thanks again, you know who you are.

Love, Paul

when times were rough, for his prayers and faith in me. Your faith Dad, gave me the will to endure.

To my Mom for her unselfishness, compassion, love, and for helping me to become the person that I am today. Without you Mom & Dad, 1 would never have made it. I love you both so very much.

To my brother, Louis DeTolla, DVM, Ph.D., thanks for the expert help when I needed it.

To my Family: Thanks for the countless favors that you did for me and the positive reinforcement toward my career decisions. Special thanks to my sister Debbie for always being there with rational advice to my many irrational problems.

allowing me to achieve my goal over the last four years. Without your support I would have never made it. You believed, even during those difficult times when I did not. I am glad such a feeling of closeness could be maintained even though you were hours away. I will never be able to repay you for the sacrifices that you made, and I will always feel indebted.

I Love You Both.

Kimberly B. Edwards, D.P.M. Wilkes College, B.S.

I dedicate this degree to my family for without their constant love & support I never could have come this far. To my mother: How can I put into words everything you've ever done for me? You've lived most of your life for D & I, so this de­gree is as much yours as mine. Our relationship is so much more than just one of mother & daughter. I admire you & strive to be like you more than you realize To my father: I only hope that in obtaining this degree I've fulfilled a dream of your own. If I am ever offered the magical three wishes, you will always be my first. To Dwaine: You have been so much more than a sister, first a second mother & now a friend. Thank you & Chuck for all the moral support & timely advice. You have always been & still are a great role model. To Chuck: To call you my brother-in-law seems like a great injustice, for you are truly more to me than that - you are my brother. You were always there with an inspiring pep talk & an extra $20 when I needed it the most. To Alissa - the apple of my eye. You have the ability to put everything in perspective for me & show me what is truly important in life. I can only hope that I can be to you what your mother's been to me.

Without the love, understanding, and support of the many people in my life, this day would never have been possible. It is to those people that this achievement is dedicated.

To my family, especially to my Mom and Dad for their inspira­tion, never ending love, constant sacrifice and understanding; without which no part of this would have been possible. You were always there when I needed you. Thanks. I love you all.

Special thanks to my wife Karen, for putting up with me through the ordeal of being a medical student and for your constant optimistic attitude. There are no words that can adequately express my feelings for you. I love you very much.

It is always easier to make it through the most difficult of times when you work together and help each other along the way. So was the case at PCPM. The friendship of a few stand out. Paul, Mark, Darren, Randy, and to all those that helped make life here a little better; thanks and good luck in the future.

Arnold N. Farbstein, D.P.M, Pennsylvania State University, B.A.

"What a long, strange trip it's been." PCPM has not been the happiest time in my life, but I can honestly say that the experience has taught me that life is not always fair; however by striving to fulfill a commitment, the final outcome can feel WONDERFUL. Any dream or goal is never easy to acheive. Luckily, I received support from some very caring people. MY BROTHER DR. SAM BERNE: I cannot begin to tell you how much your support and guidance has helped me along. Your kind words and empathetic attitude have made you a successful doctor. I hope I can fulfill my dreams as you have. MY BROTHER MICHAEL: Mike, I want you to know how proud I am of you. I thank you for always having a kind word to say. MOM AND DAD: Your never ending support and love has guided my life since our days on Firwood Drive. Without your energy and careful direction, my DPM would not have been possible. MYROOMATEMICHAEL:Yo man, we have come along way since PSU. I want to thank you for your support, friendship, and ability to make me enjoy BUD CANS. MY CLASSMATES: \t's been real everybody. Remember, "You're never fully dressed without a SMILE!"

To my Beautiful, Fantastic Wife: Thanks for your warmth, love, patience, compassion and belief that together we can do anything. We now have our baby, Lee, who I love more than life itself, and with this diploma, together as one we will succeed. I love you, adore you, and will always be with you. To my Mom and Dad: The highways of life have many bumps and curves, and at times we have been caught on the Hanna highway of life, but with your support, guidance, reassurance and love, I have become a better person and achieved the first of one of my many life long goals. To my Grandparents, Harry and Sadie: Sometimes people make a difference and do not even know how much appreciated they are. Well, you two made that difference to me. You helped me through the rough times by giving me the good times to cherrish. Hey Gramps, Laundry men are not the cleanest, just the best. To Grandma Bush: You are the best adopted grandma a man could ever want. You are my home away from home. I love you. To Ron: Keep up the good work "Fish-Head", I am really proud of you. To Mark and Ellen: I have made many friends in life, thin, fat, short, and tall, but you, my friends, are the dearest, warmest and the best of them all. Anytime, anywhere or for any reason, I'll be there!!! To my Soowal family, Amir and Annelie, Paul and Lori, Mark J., Tim T., and my beautiful aunt Anita and my "Babe Ruth" uncle Bill, plus many more of you, I thank you all.

TO MY WIFE LISA: You and I met during our first week at PCPM, and from the moment we first spoke, I knew that you were something special. You and I have been through alot since that first week. We've pushed each other to conquer every obstacle this place has put before us. Together, we've seen highs and lows and everything in between. And, through it all, you have made me very proud. I love you forever!!

TO MY MOMAND DAD: I consider myself to be one of the luckiest kids I know . . . to have such loving and caring parents! You've guided and encouraged me for as long as I can remember. And, it is that guidance and encouragement to which I attribute my achievement this day. I am as proud of you as you are of me!

TO MY SISTERS SUZY AND TRACEYWW, your brother has finally reached his goal! Suzy, you too have reached a milestone in your life. I know, having secured your position, you will hastily climb the rungs of the corporate ladder. And Tracey, my little punching bag of a sister, as you plunge into the heart of your college years, remember that whatever course you choose, I am behind you, for you are now a mature and clear thinking adult. I love you both.

TO NANA: for as long as I can remember you have been an inspiration for me to strive to my fullest potential. Your caring ways and unselfish touch have been felt by all who have been in you presence. Lisa and I are both indebted to you!

DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there

may be in silence, as far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

To my wife Sharon, The last nine years with you have been the most joyful, rewarding, sometimes

stressful, amorous, and exhilarating years of my life. I am so grateful to have such a loving friend who cares so much for me. The effort you put forth in being a wife, companion and mother is often underestimated by our friends, parents, and me, but especially by yourself. I know these last four years have been difficult, often spread with tension and stress, but I feel the bond we have formed to help each other through these times will be the cement to hold us through the next era of residency and podiatric medical practice.

I wish for you to once see yourself through my eyes and perceive the attractive, loving, kind and sensuous woman that you really are. I vow to continue to strive for personal and professional excellence so that we may accomplish our goals and realize our dreams. I LOVE YOU. To my children,

The joy of living, loving and laughing that you each experience has been a powerful inspiration for me. You are so uniquely special to me: Jeffrey with your gifts for expression and imagination, Peter with your love for laughter, hugging and screaming, Heidi with her innocent and loving eyes, gentle manner and feminine attraction that only a daughter can radiate, and my newest child, who I eagerly anticipate learning so much about. I love each of your souls with all my heart. Mom and Dad Walters,

Few parents have accepted a new son with such love, selflessness, and generosity as you have. Without your help, my post-graduate years would have been an enormous struggle. I will always be grateful for your support and guidance you have provided to Sharon, our children and me. Thank you for your uninhibited love and understanding. I love you both. To the Walters family,

I am very fortunate to have married into such a wonderful family. I wish each of you personal success and happiness. Thank you for being there to help our little family in times of need.

I'm proud to be your daughter.

Aunt Dolly and Ba-Ba: The greatest blessing to any girl is a mother. I'm truly blessed because I have 3! I thank you both for all your sacrifices, love, and encouragement to be the best I could be and to be proud of who I am!

Dorrine and Helen: To two wonderful sisters, thanks for lifting up my spirits when I needed it! I hope our close bondage will be as strong with our next generation.

Melissa: To the star of the family, I wish you the best of luck and hope one day your dreams will be fulfilled as mine are today. Keep on dancin'!

Jay: I wished upon a star and "you" came true! This past year you made the sunset more beautiful, my smile brighter, and my life more meaningful. I love you now and forever.

Mom and Dad, Your support, understanding, and love during these four

years have held me up when everything around me seemed to be crumbling down. I can not imagine having been raised in any better way than you have brought me up. Without you behind me, I would neither be where I am now, nor have such a great future. I thank you for everything that I have. Now your good times will begin!

Karen and Kevin, Thank you for your patience and indulgences, along with your

home! Times were not always fun, but they were always good.

My thanks also to my aunts, uncles, and cousins for their support and encouragement.

I accept my degree in honor of Bubchi, Baba, and Judek.

TO STEVE: "To love another person is to see the face of God." You have given me hope, joy, and love as well as a feeling of wholeness and serenity which is truly a devine inspiration. I love you.

When a child is born, he learns quite instinctively on whom he has to depend . . . his mother. She feeds him, clothes him and cares for him. She loves him unselfishly and gives without expecting anything in return. For all you've done for me Mom, I dedicate my accomplishment to you! I LOVE YOU!

I was fortunate enough to another woman in my life. She too always there without reservation and without ever thinking of herself first . . . my Grandmother. Nonnie, for all the pride and love you always have in me, I dedicate my accomplishment to you! I LOVE YOU!

To my brother and sister, Joey and Jerrilynn, who have always been there through good times and bad; and have always supported me in all that I have done; I dedicate my accomplishment to you! I LOVE YOU BOTH!

My final dedication is extended to my beautiful and loving wife Roslyn. One cannot fully appreciate the sacrifices a woman endures for her husband in the name of love. A woman must move away from the security of her home, give up her own name for another's and learn to make responsible decisions for her future as well as her husband's. Honey, you have done all this for me and more without hesitation. You are the inspiration of my dreams, my hope for the future and my friend for life. To you I dedicate not only this accomplishment, but also all my love for the rest of my LIFE! I TRULY LOVE YOU!

Elizabeth L. Massimini, D.P.M. Franklin And Marshall College, B.A.

I would like to dedicate this to all who believed in me and who helped make it possible:

To my Mother and Father - This degree is as much yours as mine. With all my heart, I thank you for always being so supportive and understanding, and for giving of yourselves so unselfishly these past four years. I respect and love you both very much. I am very proud to be your daughter.

To Wendy - You have been a true friend. My happiest times at PCPM were spent with you. Thank you for beating it into my head that it isn't that I don't know anything but that I don't know everything.

To George - Thank you for reminding me that life does exist outside of school. Your patience, love, and understanding are appreciated.

To Peggy - If you should ever need a boost in confidence, think of a certain "smoked sausage" and realize how much you have going for you.

To my family and friends - Thank you for keeping me sane and for having faith in my abilities.

I love you all. Liz

effort. So, I would now like to thank my teammates.

Annmarie: You are undoubtedly the sweetest, most caring person on this earth. Over and over again, your love has kept me going. In times of need, you are the shoulder on which I lean. When the time comes for celebration, again you are right by my side. Now, we can really celebrate. Thanks for being so patient!

Mom: A large portion of this degree belongs to you, also. Your unending love, encouragement, and support is cherished every single day. It is your guidance that brought me here today.

Dad: Thanks for always giving me such good advice, not to mention a good game of tennis. Keep it coming, because I still need it.

My family and friends: Thanks for all the good times that make life so much fun.

God: I thank you most of all, for without you, life and all the wonderful people in it could not exist.

From what I'm told, we will actually be glad we attended PCPM. However, I think that is not until after the loans are paid back. Good luck to all.

To my sister Robynmd brothers Bill, Steve, and Scott;Thanks for being there at times when I needed you. You guys always kept me on my toes and kept me laughing when I needed it most.

To my Grandparents: Thank you for all of the support and love that you gave to the "college kid".

To my in-laws, Mom and Dad P/cc/o/7e; Thank you for all that you've done for us, and thank you for not objecting too loudly when I married your "baby"!

LORI: Where does one begin to say thanks to someone for whom words alone cannot express the feelings of love and gratitude for just being here through it all? The hardest part of getting this degree wasn't the late nights studying or the stressful exam weeks, but rather it was seeing the sacrifices that you made for me . . . THANKS!

ANDY: As the years go by you probably won't remember much of Mom's going to work and Dad's going to school, but here it is in a nutshell:

One year old and you would cry every time I would drop you off at Phoung's. Two years old, you had the system figured out and when I was late getting home and leaving early in the morning, you would say, "I guess you have a lot of tests this week, Right Daddy?" By three, you pretty much took control and told me not to worry when I went away on externs, cause you'd take care of Mom . . . What's next Andy?

& DAD: Thanks for your constant support, understanding and encouragement which you have always given to me. I love you both.

FATHER TOM: A special thanks for always being there for all of us.

Mom Thank you for listening to me complain these last nine years while I was in

class.

Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours". Linda & Ellen: Both of you have been very supportive-thank you. I feel that we

have shared quality time together which has enhanced our friendship. Mom & Dad: You have been the best parents anyone could ever wish for and I

love you both. You have stood behind me and have been my biggest fans all of my life. Thank you for your unyielding support both financially but more importantly emotionally.

Karen:Niy little Pooh. Words will never express how much I truly love you and how much you mean to me. Thank you for believing in me when I begin to doubt myself.

To My Wife, Joan What can I say. This degree is as much yours as mine because without your love,

support and willingness to put your dreams on hold, my becoming a D.P.M. would not be a reality. I love and respect you more than words can express. As a companion, a friend and a mother there is none better. I love you now and will forever. Thank you!

To My Daughter, Pamela As you grow and learn, I only wish for you the joy and happiness that you have given

As graduation day is nearly upon us, I would like to acknowledge some very special people for making this accomplishment not only possible but also worthwhile.

To my lovely wife S u s a n . . . This accomplishment is deservingly dedicated to you, Susan, for without your unconditional love and support graduation day would not have come. This degree belongs as much to you as it does to me. Enjoy. I love you.

To my loving Dad . . . who always said, "Greg, you are already a DPM in my eyes", I wish you could have been here today. I know you would have been proud. Know in your heart that I always did and always will love you, and that I was always proud to be your son. This one's for you, Dad. I love you. Your Son Greg

and DAD: This is for you - thanks for all your love and patience in helping me to obtain this degree. Your friendship in my life means so much to me. I can't believe the number of obstacles which I have conquered in the past four years. And I don't even want to think about the ones in the future. I guess if I had it easy, I would think there's something wrong, and would look for ways to challenge myself - to test how much I can endure - to feel the pressure. When one is in the thick of it - involved in something that is hard and unfair, one wishes it were over. When its over, one looks for more.

- MY FRIENDS: Thanks for all the humor we used to numb ourselves as we plowed through the stupidity and administra­tive red tape of PCPM. It is you who I will remember. It is you which makes life worth getting up for.

I chose to invest four years of my life at PCPM in order to achieve my ambition of becoming a physician. I entered with no illusions that it would be an enjoyable experience. My four years here been an ordeal. There is no other way to describe it. I have achieved my goal through hard work and significant personal sacrifice. I feel no sentiment about PCPM or my years here. I leave without regret.

I would like to thank those people who have sustained my spirit through these difficult times: -my family which, as always, has been my foundation -my friends scattered around the country who have continued to

remind me that there is more to life -my friends at PCPM whose loyalty and support have made my

daily burdens lighter -the rest of my colleagues in the Class of '89 for tolerating me.

Twenty-one years of exams and lectures is finally coming to a glorious end. I won't miss the academia of education, but I sure will miss the friends I made along the way. Some I will occasion­ally see but others I may never see again. To all of you, I wish success and happiness and thanks for four great years of friendship and compassion.

I would like to thank a beautiful person, who happens to work on the fourth floor of our building, for the love and support she always expressed. You will never be forgotten Belinda.

I would like to thank my roommates over the past four years (John, Gary, Bobby, Bill and Joe) for helping cope with the hardest of times.

Scott \s my brother and a damn good one! He has always been there when I needed him. I can't thank him enough.

Mom and Dad, there just isn't enough to say about the two of you. Through the years you have expressed nothing but love and generosity and have always encouraged me to succeed at whatever I ventured into. Well, I ventured and I succeeded but not without the support of two very special people. I love you both so very much.

Obtaining the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine has taken four years of hard work and sacrifice, but it has also been marked by moments of exhilaration and unmeasurable personal satisfaction. Education is both a privilege and a challenge. I have met the challenge this institution offered me and as a result, I have gained the profound privilege to offer medical guidance and treatment to my fellow man.

For this I am grateful.

To my parents:Yow never ending encouragement, support and trust has made me what I am today. One could not ask for a better mother and father.

To Liz: You were always there when I needed you. Thank you for your patience and understanding I love you.

Thanks for Moyer St. We could not have done that without each other. Finally, thank you for your loving encouragement to succeed—I am your biggest fan!

Maureen, David & Matt: My adopted family! A friendship like this is rare, and I know that we will often share wine together. Thank you for everything.

My Friends: Words cannot express my thanks and appreciation for all you've done, especially when I needed you most. Through your wit, humor and craziness, you have shown me that sanity and solitude can truly exist in an entropic world!

Timothy Pitts, D.P.M. Valdosta State College, B.S.

I'd like to thank my parents for all the support they have given me during my years here at PCPM, and for making my transition from Southern to Northern living easier. I still remem­ber the culture shock that I experienced those first few months of living in Philadelphia. I recall having my car towed the first day I arrived. I thought, "Hell, I've only been here two hours, and some Yankee has already stolen my car!". And I still have yet to find a restaurant that makes sweet tea. I guess I'll also leave here not knowing the ingredients of scrapple. The thanks to my roommates, Ron and Sanjay, go without saying. I don't know another Southern, Indian, and Jew who get along together as well as we do. I'd like to thank Steve, my auto mechanic, who's driven my car as much as I have. I'm sure he would like to thank me, too. I want to give a special thanks to Lori for talking me thru many difficult times. I should have purchased stock in Pennsylvania Bell instead of Condoms! The last person I'd like to thank is God, for helping me to keep my sanity and my southern drawl.

And lastly, dearest David, where do I begin? We've put in many long hours studying for and dreaming about the days that are now upon us. Before we leap ahead, just remember the dining room table with notes everywhere . . . borrowing your number 2 pencils . . . study breaks . . . pasta (again) . . . Fishtown . . . "weekend projects" . . . driving . . . Williams­burg . . . wild ponies bite and kick . . . the land . . . grape planting . . . and, of course, Wilson. Those memories are special because of you!

My degree is not solely my own, it is shared by all those who helped to make it possible and to whom I owe my countless thanks and love.

To Mom and Dad, your love, encouragement, and support kept me going through the tough spots when I was wondering if it was all really worth it. To make you proud of me by doing my best was the greatest reward of all. I love you both dearly. Thanks also to Diane for being such a great sister.

To My Friend and Comrade Ann, These four years would have been boring without your friendship, laughter, and late-night phone calls, "Do you think we really have to know that?" And also to Phil and Gina, Mark, John, Ed and Todd and other fellow inmates, Thanks for the memories!

To Dot, Colleen, Donna, Reina, Amanda and Diane, Thanks for all your time and understanding when I had neither. Thanks for all your help, I will never forget it.

To My Friends from Art School and The Blessing crew, Thanks for the escapes. You too Spanky!!

To my family: Words cannot express the sincere appreciation I feel for all that you've done for me these past four years. You've always been there to support me and believe in me when I needed a little boost and you've been there to share in my accomplishments. Your continued encour­agement throughout my life has helped me to achieve my goals, so you deserve as much credit for this degree as I do. I love you all!

To Ellen, Karen and Marcie: "Friends whose love and loyalty no words can ever measure-the ones who have walked the extra mile with me."

Kirk Douglas Skinner, D.P.M. University Of Massachusetts, M.S., B.S.

To Anne: We have finally made it. It has been a long road that we have traveled. Many obstacles were in our way, but we overcame them together. The pressures and stress of the last four years have tested our love. Instead of diminishing our feelings the pressures have made our feelings stronger. It was this love that help make this degree possible. The diploma really should have both our names on it since we accom­plished it together. There were many times your words of encouragement gave me exactly what I needed to carry on. How you knew precisely what to say still amazes me. Of all the things I should thank you for, I would most like to thank you for our son. The ultimate expression of our love is the child we had together. Your unselfishness was remarkable, you gave so much and asked so little in return. You are truly an incredible woman. I could not have been more fortunate to have you as my partner in life.

WOOF & ZZZ'S love

Mom, Thank you for the encouragement throughout. Thanks for the hearty holiday dinners that I looked forward to at the end of exams, and for the timely installments of brownies and bagels that kept me going. I love you.

My friends here at PCPM, I consider myself very lucky to have fallen in with such a strong circle of friends. We helped each other to study, celebrate and survive. We made it.

Kelly Lou Stevenson, D.P.M. West Liberty State College, B.S.

Here's an old hymn because every time I hear it it brings so many pictures into my mind of my family, the strongest people I know. Pictures of growing up with all of you filling up the church pew, hiding Easter baskets, running those many miles, and listening to Dad play the piano. Pictures that just remind me of "WHERE I CAME FROM".

The Old Rugged Cross

chorus: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown

verses: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff'ring and shame, And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, It's shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my fame far away, Where His glory forever I'll share.

Special THANKS to Ruth Wilson for all your prayers and love!

THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY TERRIFIC FAMILY. TO MY WIFE, JULIE: This degree is ours. Without your warm,

thoughtful and supportive ways, making it this far would have been impossible. You are always making sacrafices without a word of complaint, but instead with a smile. You always knew just what to say and do to help me through those stressful weeks of finals. For these reasons and more I owe you the greatest thanks and offer to share this degree throughout our life together. I love you forever.

TO MOM AND DAD: Throughout the years you have taught me morals and discipline as well as offered encouragement and advice. You are always there for support and without you this degree would only be a dream. Thanks for everything. I love you.

TO MY BROTHERS: Sieve, Ronnie and Allen, having three broth­ers like you has made achieving my goals easy. Thanks for the guidance and the good times.

TO MY IN-LAWS: Diane, Jim, Buster and Ellen, you are wonderful and I greatly appreciate your support and encouragement. Thanks for being there.

TO MY CLASSMATES: We finally made it! Good luck with your future endeavors.

MOMMY: Without your strength, love and patience; I never could have reached this goal. You believed in me, when I didn't believe in myself. Thanks for listening to my many frustrations, drying my tears and making me realize that tomorrow is full of possibilities. I love you.

So Ching Wong, D.P.M, Yale University, B.A.

Success is speaking words of praise, In cheering other people's ways, In doing just the best you can, With every task and every plan, It's silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor's curt, It's deafness when the scandal flows, And sympathy with others' woes, It's loyalty when duty calls, It's courage when disaster falls, It's patience when the hours are long, It's found in laughter and in song, It's in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair, In all of life and nothing less, We find the the thing we call success.

Dear Al:

If each star in the sky were given to everyone on

earth who worked hard to achieve a goal and then

aspired and worked for more, you would undoubtedly

be one of the first recipients. Although you are

not the type of person who looks for recognition

for all of your good deeds and hard work, we must

take this opportunity to let you know that your

family has noted every one. We just hope that you

will achieve all of the new goals ahead of you.

We love you and wish you success and happiness in

your future.

Love,

Easy Walking REECE ORTHOPEDIC SHOE Comfort and Mobility The Reece Wooden Sole Shoe offers many of the advantages of cast protection... with more flexibility and less edema. Pa­tients and doctors find the Reece Shoe more satisfactory than a cast for many broken or crushed foot bones and dis­locations. It can also be used effectively for post-operative care for most cases of foot surgery and as an aid in the treatment of burns, sprains, athlete's foot and bursitis.

You'll find the Reece Shoe adds efficiency to your practice —it's far easierto adminis­ter than a cumbersome cast...and more readily accepted by patients.

Ladies' Shielded Toe Model 173 CG
