A FRACTURED FAIRY TALUS
Twas the night before finals and all through the class, Questions were pondered, "Will I pass?" The struggle, the pain, the failure...SUCCESS! To think I waded through all that mess.
I knew I'd always wonder why, My little finger had interossei Or that Pancinian, Lieberkuhn, Meissner and Brunner, Would get under our skin, later or even sooner.
That we're not hatched from eggs 'tis true, I've learned that much with little ado. But meeting of sperm and egg is intense, Blastula, Gastrula, and cleavage immense.
I'll now never forget simple cuboidal Or inferior rectals - quite hemorrhoidal. Acinar cells in all their glory. Beautifully displayed in our bible DiFiore.
Tracts, fascicula, lamina and lesions. Visceral and parietal, lats of adhesions, Dissecting cadavers from 1 to 5, Isn't it wonderful to feel so alive?
I really don't know if I could agree, With Sterling and Hartford's Gross Anatomy, Feeling the pressures and exhibiting aggressions Too many tests and library sessions.
Brains of men and brains of sheep. Too many brains and too little sleep, Oblivious to time, addicted to coffee If not for old tests, where would I now be?
It's never occurred to me why I chose, To study feet, let alone toes. It must be the stigma attached to our pods, Those magnificent pillars upholding our bods.
But after a glance at what our feet do, All cramped and crushed inside that little shoe. We'll look and touch and C & C, Give them a smile and keep the fee.
We'll make believers of all we treat Of the thrill of victory over the agony of DE FEET!

Alberto Abrebaya, D.P.M. Florida International University, B.S.
We are often asked to write down our views and convictions as a means of marking transendental occasions in our lives. Inarguably, graduating from professional school is one such occasion. However, I have reevaluated many of my convictions, and reshaped many of my views since the recent death of my grandfather R.I.P. and the joyous event of my sister's wedding. Truly life's lessons are paths for adaptation . . . So I suppose my statement is a wishful prayer for the success and prosperity of my colleagues, many of whom I have come to know well and respect. The few gentle persons whom I had the priviledge to befriend during these four arduous years will always be treasured memories for me.
I postponed mentioning my family until last, simply because they are so ardently engraved in my thoughts I could hardly think of the opening commentary.
Mama, Papa y Gloria, un rnillon de gracias por todo su apoyo y compren-sion. Los quiero muchisimo . . . .
Best of wishes, Alberto Abrebaya

As I prepare to enter the world as a Podiatrist, I would like to thank everyone that made this possible.
To God: For answering all of my prayers and for your guidance.
To Mom and Dad: Thank you for all the love and support you have given me throughout the years. This degree belongs to you as much as me. You have provided me with endless support and encouragement. I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate it.
To My Sisters: A brother could not ask for better sisters. I have watched you strive to reach your goals and it only has made me work that much harder to reach mine. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
To My Relatives: Aunts, Uncle, Cousins, Nephews, Niece and In-laws, Thank you for your love and support.
To My Friends: Thank you for the fun times and all those long nights of studying. Good luck to each and everyone of you.
Never let anyone discourage you from pursuing your dreams. We all have a brain and it is up to you what you choose to do with it.
34
Christopher L. Barrett, D.P.M. University Of Scranton, B.S.
Mom and Dad I know you both thought you would never see this day come but persistence has paid off. I could never repay you for everything you have given me. I have caused you both a lot of headaches at times but you were always willing to listen. You are the best parents anyone could ask for and you have always sacrificed for my benefit. I love you both very much.
Nona I am so glad you could share this special occasion with me. I don't know if I could have survived without those twenties you slipped me everytime I visited. You are one of a kind and a very important part of my life. I love you.
To the homeboys Thanks for making the breaks a getaway from the non-stop frustration of PCPM. Long live L.A. and summers at the shore.
To the Class of 92 Best of luck and success in realizing our goals.

To my Wife and my Best friend: Thanks for the best 3 years of my life. Without your support, making it this far would have been impossible. We both worked very hard for this degree and it is as much yours as it is mine. You are my life and my love. Our future is so bright and I look forward to spending it all with you. Love You FOREVER.
To Mom and Dad: Thanks for being there whenever I needed you. Your warm words of support and encouragement always seemed to bring out the sunshine in a neverending storm. What you taught me in life cannot be learned in any books. I am proud to be your son. I love you both more than you will ever know. We Did It!!!
In Loving memory of my Grandparents: I wish I could spend this day with both of you. You taught me to love people and that is the equality that will remain with me forever. I miss both of you so much.
To Joel and Gaye: Thanks for being there when I needed you. Nothing can substitute a true friend. The last 4 years that I have known you, I came to realize the value of that true friend. Thanks for everything.
Pete and Kim: Thanks for being my friends. We had some great times together (Steamboat, milk cartoon, etc.). Let's not let them end. Good luck in your future wherever it may take you.

Lisa Beckinella, D.P.M. S.U.N.Y. Albany B.A.
Mom and Dad: Had I been born a Nobel or a Pulitzer, I might be able to figure out how to adequately express 26 years of thanks in just a few words. I Love you but more importantly I truly Like you. Hopefully one day I'll be just like you.
Nancy, Carla, Phyllis: Together we are an "Awesome Foursome". We've come a long way since "Peppermint Mouse". Let's always be close sisters and even closer friends. PS: Hi Timmy.
Michele: Even the dull times were never dull. Procrastination would never have been as much fun without you- together we turned TV watching into an art form. For all the fun and laughs here's to "Days", Your chair, lard-filled snacks, "THE DEAD", and for making 329 a home. Thanks for not getting sick of me and if you ever did, thanks for not telling me.
Stephanie: You've been just like a (Sweeney) sister to me. 1st year was rough until our Lower lab friendship began- ever since then things have been "harmonious" to say the least. To: 70's medleys, gallons of wine, the pathologic shuffle gait and the millions of laughs along the way- Salut! (Shemma)
Steven: Persistence certainly does pay off. Thanks for hanging in there and for always making me laugh (really hard). I owe you big time.
Dave and Anthony: There's always a place for good friends & good music.
Jeff: Best of Luck and keep in touch.

Stephen J. Bennett, D.P.M. S.U.N.Y. At Stony Brook
To My Parents: Without hesitation, through every difficulty, you have supported me
with your love. Here is no doubt, I could not have made it without. I owe you both so much, I'll start with love, then Chinese checkers and a game of pool.
To my Brothers: You have both been inspirational to me. For your accomplishments and
your love I thank you for keeping me going.
To Aunt Joan: You have always been that extra ear that I could share secrets with.
Thanks for your love and support.
To My Best Friends: I will not single you out for you each touched me in very special ways.
You never left my side and were always willing to listen to my crazy sides. I love you all.
To PCPM: Good bye, time to move on. Yes!
38
Scott Bernstein, D.P.M. Muhlenberg College, B.S.
To my future wife Marley: Words cannot express the love I feel for you. If it weren't for your
understanding and compassion all of my dreams would not have come true. Thank you for being my best friend. Our future together holds no bounds. Get ready for the best times of our lives. To Mom and Dad:
I'd like to thank you for the never ending love, support, and guidance you have given me throughout the years. You've always wanted the best for us and have strived throughout our lives to make all our dreams realities. I want you both to know that I am truly proud to be your son. I love you both very much. To Wendy:
You are the greatest sister anyone could ever hope for. Thanks for supporting me for all I have done. I love you. To Steve, Pam, and Adam:
I want you to know how much you all mean to me. Steve, you've been my mentor throughout my life. You've always been there when I needed you. Thanks for all your support. I wish you both the very best of everything and a fantastic life with my nephew Adam. To Lee:
We finally did it after all we've been through. Only the best to look forward to. Good luck roomy. To Frank:
Stocks, bonds and Podiatric Medicine. Do they match? Of course. Can't wait for the future.

John Beronio, D.P.M. Villanova University, B.S.
Mom & Dad: My only wish is that there can be a way to repay you. In my mind this degree is a tribute to all of you selflessness and sacrifice. You have been a tremendous guiding force and I pray that one day I can live up to the parenting standards you've set.
Jen & Chris: Your support and friendship over these 4 years have been invaluable and for that I thank you. You're what a family is all about.
Bill: You certainly made the last 4 years bearable. Throughout it all, You & Michelle have been great friends. Memories of New Orleans & Tampa are etched in my mind. Thank you ror everything and let's start those Friday night dinners on me!
Paul, Joe, Anthony & Greg: It is said you make friends for life in college. That certainly applies to us. I'd like to thank "Corporate America" for about half of the thousands of calls we made. You guys helped me keep my sanity.
Michele: You proved to be a great driving partner. You provided the proper mix of school & non school topics. Best of luck to you, You're one of my good friends.
Class of 92: Best of luck in all your endeavors. I hope you all find great success.

Mom & Dad, The guidance and direction that you provided to me as a kid has been
instrumental in getting me to where I am now. The thousands of hours of hard work and effort that have gone into financing my education for most of my life examplifies to me your dedication as parents. I love you both. Thank you.
Audra, You're the most understanding, giving, and forgiving person I know.
We're as close as two people can be. I'm looking forward to the next 20 years.

Joseph J. Bianchini, D.P.M. Manhattan College, B.S.
Thank you to all the Angels and Saints (St Jude) for praying for me to our Lord for my success.
To my wife Karie - Words cannot describe the love that I feel for you. You are my whole life. This degree belongs more to you than to me, for without your everlasting patience, and understanding, I would not be in this position today. You are indeed an angel sent to me by God.
Mom and Dad - It is hard to find words to thank someone for a life time of Love, support, and sacrifice, but here goes. You both have been there for me whenever I needed you, never refusing to listen. You have been my moral and financial support no matter what the sacrifice. All that I can say is I love you both very very much, and I dedicate this degree to both of you.
My Brothers Mike and John - You guys are both one of a kind. Each different, each unique and each special in your own ways, but definitely the best brothers a guy could have. I love you both.
Grandpa - Well peep, finally after 40 years, someone to follow in your foot steps. As much as you say you are proud of me, I am proud of you, for setting such a good example for all of the family to follow. As far as grandfathers go, you are the best. I love you very much.
LaPortas - Thank you for providing comic relief, and countless outlets for my frustrations.
42
Hans Blaakman, D.P.M. Fairfield University, B.S.
To my Family -1 don't know where to begin . . . I can only hope that this kid of yours from the garage sale will continue to learn and mature. Thanks for the monetary support but more importantly thanks for the peace, love, and understanding.
DAVE - Sometimes I felt that you scolded me like a mother. Sometimes I felt that we fought like sisters. And for some reason I continued to put up with your *?#! as a roommate. Let's not forget . . . The BANK & BRYN MAWR, Best of luck to you & Terri as newlyweds. Thanks for the FUN.
BOB - Thanks for making the fourth year of school bearable. It allowed me to forget about PCPM for a while.
To my FRIENDS AT CLINIC - MARY, RITA, IRENE, DONA, VERNELL, FREIDA, ROBIN & JEANNETTE - you made my clinic years fun and enjoyable. Thanks for helping me fill out all the paperwork.
To MILFORD PODIATRY - I owe everything to you. You showed me the basis and made me appreciate the finer points of patient care and management of an office. I can't thank you enough. I hope we can continue to stay in touch.
43
Thomas A. Bowman, D.P.M. Warren Wilson College, B.A.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Thank you Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters, Julie, Katie, Leanna, and Steven.

Plli^iiilliliili William Brown, D.P.M. University Of Scranton, B.A.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!
-Rudyard Kipling

John: Together we graduate from PCPM for this degree is as much a part of you as it is a part of me. Together we can do anything. As we venture forward on life's journey, I am not afraid because I know you are there. I love you. You are my everything.
Mom and Dad: This day would not have happened without all the support, encouragement, and love you have given me throughout my life. Thanks for being who you are and encouraging me to be who I am. I hope John and I can be as wonderful parents as you. I love you both.

To my family, Thank you very much for your love and support. This degree would not
have been possible without you. Mom and Dad, I am especially greatful to you for providing me and the rest of my brothers and sister with a wonderful life. You have both worked very hard and although I don't say it very often I Love You Both Very Much.
To Terri, Who ever said you don't meet nice girls at bars, at least ones worth
marrying? You have definately proved that wrong. I love you very much. I want to thank you for everything, but especially for standing by me during those tough times and always telling me "everything will be alright." Our journey through life is far from over and although there are many mountains yet to climb, it will be a lot easier with you at my side.
The Gabriel Family, I want to thank you for everything. Mr and Mrs Gabe, you are great.
Gabe, I'll never forget the Harrisburg Marathon or the Squirrels. Thanks for being a very special part of my life.
To Wayne Wengert, Thanks a lot for all you did for me. You are a special friend with a big

Marianne Cuttic, D.P.M. Moravian College, B.S.
Dad and Mom: You always told me that there is nothing in my life I couldn't do but this achievement isn't mine alone. Dad, kids grow up with heros that give inspiration and hope, I am so lucky to have my very own in you. Since childhood you have been my strength, you picked me up when I fell and urged me on. I will always need your strength no matter how grown up I am. Mom, over these four years I've realized that you and I share so many common ideals. You know what they say "great minds think alike". You have been and will always be my greatest teacher. You give, give, give no matter what the expense to yourself, I have learned a great lesson. Thanks dad and mom for the love and sacrifice. This is not just my special day, it's ours. Andrew, Suzanne and Joanne: You have each given me something unique. Andrew, you taught me to be competitive, never settle for second best. Suzanne, (our rebel), you showed me that being different from the norm is ok and fun. Joanne, I've learned the most from you over these last years, patience and practicality. You'll always be my little sis but now you are more grown up than any of us. Thanks gang for being my best friends. Grams: Someone once asked me at a residency interview, "If you could change one thing in the past what would it be?". I wish that pop were here with me today. You both involved yourself in every aspect of my life and taught me a great appreciation for things of the past. Thanks is such a small word for all your great deeds of love but . . . I love you with all my heart. Jessica: You've been a bundle of excitement in my life. I can't wait to see you grow up, but don't rush it. You will always be our "little precious" and I will always be your Aunt "Donald Duck". (P.S. Shopping at Macy"s? There's a sale on Claiborne for kids.) To my mentor and friend, Neal: You truly have been a great inspiration throughout these past four years. You were right, I came to PCPM knowing nothing and I still don't know everything. I learned so much from you that books could never teach, not only about being a good doctor but about being a good person. Thanks for believing in me, I will never forget . . .

Jodi - I can't tell you how happy you've made me. You've helped me get through all four years with a smile on my face and a great outlook towards our future. I can't wait to begin our life together. I love you with all my heart.
Mom and Dad -1 know the sacrifices you made to allow me to be where I am today. Your never ending support and guidance will always be remembered. I love you both very much.
Nadine, Tina and the OR group - It was a blast! You guys made lunches enjoyable and missing almost all my classes even more enjoyable. When are we going out again?
Bill - It was refreshing to have a roomate as lazy as I was. Just remember, whatever you do and wherever you go, please - - - stay out of the patient's field of vision!
To all my friends at PCPM - Good luck and best wishes for the future.

Stacy D. David, D.P.M. Boston University, B.A.
Mom and Dad, thanks for all the years of education and support. You two were always there when I needed a hug. I guess McDonald's will have to do without me! Dad, now you have another partner
Wendy, Todd, Ross, and Buster - I'm lucky to have a nephew and a nephdog as lovable as Ross and Buster. Wendy, I look forward to working with you and watching your boys grow up!
Todd, best of health in the future! Good luck upon graduation and your future career along the EAST coast!
Syl, you've been great through these years of school. You always helped me to "find it easy."
Art, where would we both be today if you hadn't called? I can't believe how time has flown by. I still feel like we just met. You've made these past years a lot more fun. I look forward to our future together!
Best of luck to the class of 1992! Love,
Stacy

Every graduating class is different but ours was especially Goofy. Just think of all the wasted paper and ink gone into the back row comics & Top Tens . . . ! I feel that my contribution to the Goofyness was in the nomenclature we used. Remember: Shy box, out-7, gray area, windy city, taking a ride, unit, yodel, yohimbine user, work it out, nice hit, get up 4, club, neighborhood, night mare lot, going down, going to the window, home run, line away, hows the unit, you've got it, done deal, the cart, any action, making a deposit, are you with me, dice are out, benzopyrine, log it in, angina, reference it, leather lounge, sha-gunk, quizzy's.
To my entire family, thank you for your support and I love you all!

To The Kisperts- You received me into your family with open arms and hearts. Becoming one of you was easy.
To Bill-1 owe you one. A BIG one (about 6'6"). I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Karl.
To Karl- Until I met you, I didn't know that a truly altruistic person existed. You are always there, standing beside me, giving me everything you can. I am looking forward to many wonderful years together.
Finally, to my Classmates-1 wish you all, success and happiness in the future.

To My son, Den, congratulations on your graduation and your achievements.
To My daughters, Adrienne and Claudine, I am very proud of your successes in your chosen careers.
To my parents, thank you for your prayers and support for me and my family.
To My Colleagues: Some of you knew that I led dual lives, PCPM during the the week and my family on week-ends. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with me. Many of you had some impact on my life: from the SARP group, first year Lab Rats, the President's Secret Service, the "Bitter Club" and even the grounds' crew. Thanks to each one of you.
You know I am a man of few words and low-keyed, Jeff. Thanks, Man!

To Fernand; My best friend, my love. You are the one constant in my life. How can I
thank you for always inspiring me, for pushing me on when I want to give up for always being there when I need you most? I don't know yet, but I have the rest of our lives to find a way. I'll start now by saying "I love you."
To my mom, Junie and my dad, Ben; This would not have been possible without you. I want to thank you for
your infinite love and support. I love you both very much.

A special message to all my Godchildren- Dada, Enika, Patrick, Natasha, Angie, Pouchon, Betty, Danou, Junion, Jeff, Marvin, and Edwin:
I dedicate my diploma to you. May it inspire you to follow your own dreams. God bless you all.
I'd like to say a prayer for my beloved uncle, Chavannes Calixte, who passed away recently. A part of each of us he left behind also died that fateful night. May you rest in peace, Ton Vannes.

To my Family: Mom, we did it! I never would have if it was not for yours and Dad's support. Start packing for the cruise (but don't hold your breath)! Jeff, the last veteran of the cold war, thanks for serving our country, you deserve a couple of years in Greenville. Mike and Andrea, now that I'm done with school, maybe I'll get out to the left coast a little more often!
To All My Friends: It started with little towns like Great River, Watermill, Southampton, Montauk. Then spread to Vancouver, Los Angeles, Greenville, Richmond, Washington D.C., Raleigh and everywhere in between. I have met many great people and have made many close friendships. I thank you all for your hospitality, and you know that wherever I wind up, the porchlight is always on, and the door is always open!
To close, I would like to say that you have never lived life unless you've been in Greenville, on a Saturday in October, at Ficklen Stadium with 50,000 of your best friends!

Stephen C. Gentile, D.P.M. Lehigh University, B.A.
Dearest Cindy: It amazes me that out of the whole world I would find the one person who could make my life complete. Sharing the past seven years with you has allowed us to achieve our goals both individually and as one. We have succeeded in building the foundation of our future together. I love you and look forward to many cold evenings in Chicago. You've made it all worthwhile. Thank you for your never ending support.
Mom: Throughout my life, your strength and perseverance have symbolized that achievement is unattainable without sacrifice. Your expectations never exceeded my ability and for this I owe you the world. Thank you for your support, great cooking, and ensuring my success with a rock solid education. I love you.
Greg: We've shared so much of our lives together. Whether selling pretzels, jamming the Chez, or eating breakfast at the Melrose, you have always been my best friend. It was great being home with my family these past four years. Gentco is alive and well.
Gramps; I dedicate my Doctorate in your memory. My family: What can I say but thank you and I love you all. Kimberly: Thank you for your endless support and friendship. Denise: Our friendship began early on and strengthened with each phone
call. Your personal sacrifice was second to none. Look out MCP- Love ya! Scott, Mike: "Food of the gods", Pronation and top ten lists have all been
redefined. You've enhanced my PCPM experience exponentially. Congrats, we all scored.

Gratitude
On our path to the light, we often examine our growth with an eye to what we have yet to achieve. It is very important, however, to become aware of what we have already accomplished.
Make a gratitude list. Write down the ways in which you have changed and the gifts you have allowed into your life. Acknowledge yourself for your dedication to spiritual growth. Consider how your family and friends have helped to bring you to this place on your path. Include those people who have served as great mirrors and teachers in your path for growth. Close your eyes. Sense and visualize all that has happened, and all the gifts you now have in your life, and give thanks for each of them with the whole of your heart.
65
Ellen Golden, D.P.M. Emory University, B.S.
Mom and Dad: Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude. Without your endless love, support (emotional as well as financial) and guidance I could not have completed these past four years. You were always there when I needed you. I know you have really been looking forward to this day for many years. Thanks for believing in me. I love you both very much,
Jim: I think I see a glimmer of light at the end of that long, long tunnel. I know you see it. You always do see the bright side of things even at the worst times. Thank you for all your patience, understanding, patience, love, patience and support. Did I mention patience? We have been through so much together, maybe some day we can live in the same state at the same time . . . under the same roof? What do ya think D.M.?
Ben: Did you ever think your little sister would actually finish going to school?
Tanya and Val: Remember, it's more important how you look when you say, "I just don't know."

Shark All of your phone calls and words of encouragement made my time in Philadelphia a little easier. You're the best sister a brother could ask for.
To Margie — the love of my life: We've been through so much together. We've really grown a lot since that day I let your pigeon out of the cage. I thank you for standing by me through all of these difficult years. Your countless road trips and our special weekends kept me going. I'm looking forward to a wonderful future together. You're the best, and I love you.
Pop: I wish you could have been here to see me graduate — but you will always be in my heart and my thoughts. I miss you!

Elizabeth Gonda, D.P.M. CoUege Of William & Mary, BS College Of William & Mary, MA
To Karen: you survived with an apartment-mate who wasn't happy unless she was doing something (ie-baking, running, talking, whatever). After three years I've learned that naps are not so evil and it is good to be quiet occasionally! You're a real pal! Danke schoen, eh?
To Suzanne: As competitive as I am, you'll always be one beer ahead of me! Memories of our road trips, the YMCA and shopping will probably outlast my natural hair color.
To my family: Thanks for always being there.
To the class of 1992: Thanks for the memories.

Paul M. Greenman, D.P.M. West Chester University, B.S.
Mom and Dad: I know that many times you sacrificed more than you should have for the sake of your children. The opportunities you made available to me have made my education possible. As I look back on our days in Malvern I know who instilled my will, determination, and values. I love you, your son. Teri: Ames . . . N.Y.C. . . . L.A. There is not much in between, but I'll bet you'll find it. I have missed you through these long years. Love, your bro. Grandma and the rest of my family: Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. The Tremewens: For my home away from home, countless meals, care packages, advice, and most of all treating me like one of your family. I am indebted to you. Frank, Fred, Chin, all of my roommates and friends: We are all going to do just fine. Thank you, congratulations, and good luck. Special thanks to the Haddonfield House for the attempt at converting the wrestler to an athlete. All my friends and customers at MSL Thanks for understanding, "covering," entertaining, and not smoking. We had many good nights. Linda: We have accomplished so much since we met. You have been so positive and understanding from before BIO 101 to this degree. You believed in me and gave so much of yourself. Congratulations on your M.B.A.; I'm very proud of you. It's time to build our life together. I will love you forever.

The past four years in the U.S. have been quite an enriching experience for this dude from up North. There has been birth and death, success and failure, peace and war, joy and tears, friends made and enemies lost, gratification and humiliation, spiritedness and depression, health and sickness, wisdom and innocence. Regardless, I do not regret it for one second, and I would like to thank the following for introducing me to those things "American:" Chin: the 'joe' and 3-4 things. Chris: the beauty of sarcasm. Bill: hygiene. Dave: the love of competition. Mr. Bailey: all trivia. J.B.: the quota. Smith and Day: the unit. Green: bunyon and pancakes. Phil: Haute Mode. Dunlap: ageless enthusiasm.
C'est grace a plusieurs que j'ai reussi a completer mon diplome. J'aimer-ais remercier Anne et M.A., Rick et Den, Big 0 (for taking care of Jo), Lucille et Norman (who will be greatly missed). Weekends with you guys got me through some quite difficult times. Thanks also to the Benoits for making their home mine.
I would like to thank Mom and Dad, as well as the rest of the family, whose sacrifices have allowed me to study abroad and whose virtues have made me the man I am today.
Lastly, I need thank Josee. This woman whom I met many years ago has become the most important being in my life. I admire most her emotional strength, confidence and intelligence. We have made too many sacrifices along the way, and now it is time to get back on track. Much joy and happiness lie ahead of us. Jo, thanks for waiting.

Rhonda — When I got it in my heart to pursue this, I knew that it would not only be a challenge for me but for you, too. It was a total disruption to life as we knew it, and the adjustments you had to make for me to accomplish my dream were enormous. During these crazy times you were always understanding and compassionate. Most of all, you always believed in me. I love you with all of my heart.
Mom and Dad — Who would have thought that after all the goofiness that this would happen. Maybe you did, but I never would have dreamed. Through it all, though, you have always supported me, and you never gave up on me. I love you and thank you for always being there for me. I hope I am always there for you.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments (Psalms 111:10). Dedication: I dedicate this degree to my family because without your love,
support, and guidance, achieving my goals could not have been possible. To Mom and Dad: From a child you have nurtured me like a delicate rose
that needed constant care and attention. You have sacrificed your dreams to make mine a reality, and for this I am eternally grateful. I love you both dearly.
To Pastor Jacqueline Daniel and Faith Evangelical Assembly Members: Thank you for your love, prayers, and support. You are my family.
To Watson, Marian, and Clarissa: You have all enriched my life and helped me to become the woman I am. Siblings like you are rare gems. Thank you for loving me despite my idiosyncracies.
To Delcasse (Joe): "Our life has just begun." Look at the beauty along the road side and wonder no more. The goal is not the end of the road, but the constantly moving road side. So, don't be alarmed for it is unattainable only to those who think it is their property. We know it is ours, and only through hard work and togetherness can we get off the fast lane and enjoy the beauty of the road side.
To the rest of my family: Your relentless encouragement and support has made this all possible. Thank you.
To friends: You are all too numerous to mention, but you know who you are! You will never be forgotten!
Love, Monica

I will always be so grateful for the sacrifices both of you made to make things easier for me. This degree is just as much yours as mine. I love you both very much.
To my sister, Melissa: Thank you very much for all of your caring and support.

Liz and Suzanne — You guys have been a constant bright spot for me during the last 3-4 years. Sue, I'm so glad I sat down next to you in class in second year — do you have any gum? Liz, my hyperkinetic rommate, having a friend like you is a rare privilege, plus you keep me laughing. Now, if only you had a dime for every dish you ever washed!
Agustin — Though I came to know and love you in Philadelphia, you have come to mean the world to me.

Thank you for all the support, sacrifices, and encouragement. I am proud to have you as parents. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!
Donna, I'm glad you're my sister, you're the BEST. Thanks for all the support and believing in me.
Craig, thanks for always putting a smile on my face, putting up with me, and just being there, since the first day we met in lab. Words cannot express the way I feel about you. You are the GREATEST! You made everything worthwhile to me as long as you were there. You are very SPECIAL! Jim, remember the poppy seed in micro, the all night phone calls, Wendy's, and the Kelly/Carol tag team. Remember . . . I know, you're saying, "Carol, you're rambling, get to the point!" The point is, you are the best friend I could have! You made life at PCPM bearable. What will I do without you always around?!?!
Cassie, thanks for being a SUPER roomie! You were always there to give advice, listen, and guide me. Good luck in the future to you and Angelo, you deserve the best!

Craig Lorenz, D.P.M. Fordham University, B.S.
For once in my life I am at a loss for words. I find it almost impossible to begin to tell my family and friends how much I appreciate their love and encouragement over these last four years. Their moral support was irreplaceable. Without them, I know I would have never completed my schooling and received my DPM degree. Every person, I believe, has an effect on another. There are many individuals who have left their mark on me; some notably more than others, but none insignificant. I will not mention any names, because I would not want to omit anyone. I can only hope that one day I am worthy of the same esteem which I hold for these people.

Without you I don't know where I would be. Always there in the good and bad times. Your support and encouragement made this easier. Thank you for always being there, thanks for just being you! To Ann Marie:
The best friend a sister could have. I'm proud of all your accomplishments. Thank you for helping me reach my own. To J.T.:
You've made my life a whole lot brighter and a bit more complicated, but your gummy smiles make it all worth while. To Gram & Gramps:
Thanks for your prayers and words of encouragement. Thanks for taking care of Farkie. The Murdoch's:
Well, without your friendship school would have been dull. You'll always have a very special place in our families heart. My Friends:
Well we finally did it! It was a long four years but we did it! Your friendships have meant a lot. I wish you all the best that your future has to offer. Faculty & Staff:
Many of you have made school a lot happier and more enjoyable, THANK YOU!

Douglas P. Murdoch, D.P.M. University Of Waterloo, HBSc.
This degree represents a culmination of love, support and guidance from a host of individuals. I give thanks to the following for bringing me to this day . . . To our Lord and Savior: I dedicate this degree to your service. To my wife Lori: From the words "I do", you have been there with unlimited love,
support and strength. You have helped me realize dreams I thought impossible, turn my weaknesses into strengths and most importantly, laugh at myself. This degree is much more yours than mine and there is no way to thank you in words. . . but . . . I know, "you'll put it on my bill". I love you, Lor.
To my girls, Brittney and Kaetlyn: No matter what happens each day, coming home to your hugs and kisses puts everything into perspective. Being called "daddy" is a privilege that far outshines any degree. I look forward to growing up with you guys and making up for the time sacrificed for me. Let's wrestle about a bit.
To Jane and Joel: Your guidance and encouragement have taught me to aim high and dream even higher. I look forward to the growth of both our professional and family lives. Oh yea, we're one step closer to that plane... the games have begun.
To Mom and Dad: At a time like this your years of sacrifices, love and guidance become crystal clear. Dad, your numerous trips down to be with us were very precious and I think Haddonfield has named a street after you.
To my In-laws: There are many stereotypes about In-laws but you break all the norms . . . your love and understanding have made this dream possible. When I asked for Lori's hand in marriage I promised that I would finish my education . . . 9 years later, "Is this enough?".
To the class of 1992: The friendships I've made will be cherished and I look forward to working together in our profession.
To the Faculty and Staff at PCPM: Your time and efforts will not be forgotten. I only hope to give back as much as you have given me.

Ellen: We've had a great time talking, shopping, and studying together; Ok, mostly talking! "Tanya, I'm married!" "Oh, is Val here?"

B.S.
To My God: Thank you Father for bringing the end so near. The beginning and end are one and the same in You, Thou the ALPHA and OMEGA. One generation arises as one passes away. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything that is has been already of old, but Thou LORD art forever and ever. You are my Providence; my shield and exceeding great Reward. Because of You, I am not afraid to face the unknown. May You be revealed in all I do. I love You, LORD.
To My Wife: Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Who can ever reward you for those tiresome, long and unending days of solitude, noisome child cries, and bitter anxieties? Your husband will safely trust you, and the fruit of your hand will praise you in the gates. The time of your crowning is near. The bride groom cometh. Keep your oils well filled, your wick trimmed, and your light shining bright for he comes with his reward. Blessed are those who wait patiently to the end. To them will the crown of life be given. I will always be for you.
To My Children: My God richly bless you and keep you. May He cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May He fill you with His fullness in the LORD JESUS and grant you with strength in the inner man. I love you.
To My Fellow Students: As you go forth venturing into the deep, remember that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he has. Let each man also seek the good of others. As ye would that men do unto you, so do ye unto others. I am priveledged to have known and interacted with you. I will miss everyone of you dearly. Go out in the Power of GOD to conquer.

While the selfsame breezes blow; Tis the set of the sail and not the gale

As we journey along through life; Tis the set of the soul that decides the goal
And not the storm or the strife.

Embarking on a major career move is always a challenging experience. Alterations in every facet of one's lifestyle are inevitable. Without the sacrifice, support, encouragement, and love from others, the fear, anxiety, doubt, and frustration endured could never be overcome. Words of gratitude are then, in store. Mom and Dad: Your unending love, generosity, reliance, and reassurance, as well as enthusiastic words of wisdom and perseverence cannot go without commendation. I love you both with all of my heart. Vince, Maria, and Paul: With age, we've certainly grown closer. Your assistance in making my goal a reality is deeply appreciated. Kevin: From the start, you offered me the moon and stars and catered to my every need. And now, after four years filled with great expectations, apprehension, uncertainty, and hardship, you still strengthen my spirit, build my confidence, make me happy. I thank and love you dearly. Lisa: To reiterate the lyric from that silly "Brownie" song that we sang so long ago, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other's gold." Stay gold, Kooch! Lisa: Lower Extremity Anatomy lab—a strange birth place for a true friendship! You are one of my favorite people in this world, Loo. You filled life in Philadelphia with laughter, animation, and lightheartedness. The memories are and will remain bright. Michele: If junk food, a nice easy chair, and a remote control are the secret to your success, I'm definitely doing something wrong! Thanks for making Philly a good time.

God: I asked, you answered; I tried, You encouraged; I achieved, you smiled. Please watch over and guide me always. Mom and Dad: You have always taught me to love God and myself-without either I cannot be my best. You encouraged me to strive and achieve; to never quit and to never forget others or who I am. For these gifts I thank you and I love you. Karen and V.J.: Be steady-everyday. Don't allow distractions to get you off track. Always be yourselves and have fun! Thanks for all the prayers. Brian: Word!! Has P.C.O.M. had enough of Podiatry yet? Thanks for all the great times, bro! Body Buddies, Inc.-opening soon. Arkady, Hisham (Smoots), Alberto (Smootie): We have had great times and the memories to go with them. Here's to close friend always! Dave and Terri: Have a wonderful life together! F.C. Podiatric: From our mentors to our successors-we've shown the PPSSL what Podiatry is all about. Well in lads! Cheers!

A full-blooded Pima Indian out in Arizona needed some cash, so he went to a banker and asked about a loan. "How much money do you need?" asked the banker. "Me want two hundred dollars." "For how long?" "Maybe two week; maybe two month." "And what security have you?" "Me got two hundred horses." This seemed sufficient security, and the loan was made. A short time afterward, the Indian came into the bank with two thousand two hundred dollars cash, paid off the note and started to leave with the rest of his roll. "Why not let us take care of that money for you?" The old Indian's mind flew back to the day when he wanted two hundred dollars, and looking the banker straight in the eyes, he solemnly asked, "How many horses you got?"
It is with the deepest love that I say "Thank you" to my mother, father and brother for their never ending support. I love y'all very much.

James G. Waller, D.P.M. David Lipscomb College, B.S.
To my Mom and Dad: Without your support and advice, I never would have made it. Thank you for everything you have done. You are the greatest.

To the group of 90-91: Margie, Xeng, Tom, Mike and Chickenman- Ya'll made it a fun and funny year. Who could forget, "I think it's hypervitamin-osis D."

Mom and Dad: No matter what I write it would never come close to describing what your constant love, prayers, and support have meant to me over the last four years. I love you both with my whole heart and soul.
Pap, Nana and Bam Bam: Thank you for the endless hours of prayer for all those special intentions. I hope the knees held up. I love you.
Mike, Krisa, Kevin and Allison: I'll always be your big brother and I'll always be there for you guys when you need me.
Nadine and Tina: Hopefully I will find somebody like you two during my residency. I felt I could come to you with anything and get advice; not always advice I agreed with but advice showing that you cared. I will never forget the two great years we had in that smoke filled room. I love you both.
Ricky: Four years later after meeting on the softball field you still put up with me. You should receive a special award. Man, your my best friend and hope you always are. I wish you and Dot the best of luck with your future together! Dot is the coolest
Chin, Ken, Bill, Scotty, JB, Green, David See you guys at the P.A.A.P. conventions. I couldn't have made a better group of friends. I hope to never lose touch. Christie, Jody, Linda and Terry, deserve to be saluted for putting with it all. I am glad to have gotten to know all of you.

I would like to dedicate my diploma to my father and mother whose constant encouragement allowed me to continue to do my best, brothers and sister whose companionship I will always treasure, my wife and her family whose love and concern deeply touch me, friends in faith who have guided me throughout, and of course, my son who always manages to take all my worries and fatigue away with his smile.

Congratulations, dear Simon:
Today you become a doctor and today is the first time Mom can name you a colleague, and be so proud of you. Today is the day of our victory! The soul and every ceU of our bodies celebrate this event. It was a long and difficult battle from the time you were in kindergarten in Russia and continued all of these years.
We are so delighted to have you pursue the profession your Mom loved so much, but was interrupted when we left Russia to give you a better future. It means a great deal to me for you to specialize in podiatry, since I have experienced and lived with foot problems resulting from polio since two years of age. Now, you will be able to help ease the suffering for those in need, both adults and children.
Dear Simon, you are a very special son and a very special person to all who know you. There is no doubt that you will be a great doctor and give of your time, your knowledge and your kind heart.
I know that God will guard you and guide you to serve those who are in most need.
Love, Mom and Dad
Dear Simon, Words can not describe how proud I am of you on this day. It took a lot of hard work and determination to achieve your dream. You are a wonderful husband and I am so happy to be a part of your life.

Dr. Eric A Wolfe, S T R U G GLE^-There is no royal road
to the temple of melody, where St. Cecilia dwells. There is no short cut to the temple of the beautiful, where Apollo reigns as lord of the arts of color, form, and music. The eager aspirant for eloquence, or wealth, or wisdom, begins a long, long way from the excellence that crowns one's life-work. Every morning Mother Nature whispers to the youth, "Strive, struggle." Every night her last message is, "Sleep to waken again to new struggles, wrestlings, and achievements." In the realms of conscience and character man must work out his own salvation through ceaseless struggling, toiling long, hard, and patiently. And just in proportion as he goes toward excellence does the work become difficult.—Newef/ Dwight Hillis.
Congratulations, we're very proud of you.
