my t David Lew, D.D.S. They tried to sell him the Brooklyn Bridge from the day he was born. They tried to make him play the bass drum in first grade. They even tried to make him give up his bus pass and lunch ticket - they never got 'em fGod rest their soulsj. They tried to make him a gang member and wear a denim jacket - well he wears a denim jacket . . . They tried to . . . oops - they did, they did mug him. But he loves ,em - he loves all of 'em - he loves New York. What a crazy kid, what a schmuck! He let 'em put him into engineering high school, then he let 'em try to put him into art college - but did he go? No-o-o! He went to engineering college fin the bowels of Brooklynj. So, he became an engineer, huh? Nope! He went to Dental School. So, one evening he left his Lower East Side abode saying Bye folks, I'm off to make s'thing of myself. Four years later he came back from his pilgrimage to Georgetown - back to that Mecca of culture, NYC, fthe greatest experience in diversity! and said to his folks, Hi, folks! Guess what? I'm a dentist! To which they replied, Hey - where've you been? Groups, fraternities, clubs? Heck, this kid didn't need any. He's a true New Yorker - of sound stock, granite character with twenty-six years of hard, tuff life chiseled in him fpersonally: he'd like to think he didn't need anyone, but they probably didn't even want himj. Well, special thanks to his folks, brother, sister, brother-in-law, and new,' nephew for their support fthey musta known he was some- where for four years!! So, where's number uno fthat's a little bit of neighborhood lingoj son going to practice? . . . give you one guess!

'WM Q x... ,Q 5 Rodne D. Littlejohn, D.D.S. lnterestingg four years at Georgetown is truly an interesting ex- perience. As a young naive freshman facing the perils of Bioche- mistry and Histology, and the glorious revelations that a cadaver has to offer. All interesting experiences with a multitude of new faces and places. Then an odyssey. Through the infamous manikin room and a ride on the highspeed. Soon thereafter, a metamorphosis - a lowly caterpillar to a gracious white butterfly - with real patients, real blood, and more realistic dentistry. Then at last, a glimmer at the end of the tunnel - but barriers yet to overcome! Then there are the more jovial moments - FAC, softball, jogging, and good times with the boys. It's the names and the faces that will surely be missed. The memories of the good times, of which there were many. And alas - graduation, a step into the future, yet another metamorphosis. A further step into reality. Yes - Georgetown has been an interesting experience, but there is still much knowledge to be gained and experiences to experience. As for the future - a northbound trek, for my roots in Upstate New York are much too deep, the beautiful Finger Lakes, a beeline soon after graduation day, and possibly a residency. As final words of wisdom I would like to offer this, for all to take a walk on the wild side, at least once in a while, for life is too short not to. I would like to dedicate this page to Mom and Dad and Barney and Sisser for their love, support, and understanding, and to Mimi for everything.
