Mark Ioel Bernstein, D.D.S. Mark Stein calls Flushing, New York home and comes to George- town by way of New York University where he graduated in Biology. An avid frat man, when Stein was not busy as the secretary of Alpha Omega Fraternity, he devoted his free time to golf, softball, and, of course, sleeping. Mark's ultimate practice plans include a private office in the northeast area. In retrospect Mark found the senior surgery tour the most enjoyable and the numerous scalings in the Iunior periodontics tour the most forgettable. Mark thanks his par- ents for their unending support and encouragement.

2 1 Iohn Beall, D.D.S. Having to make the choice between Georgetown and Temple dental schools, Iohn opted for you know wheref' Three reasons were involved: good location within the city, far better facilities, and the students here to whom he talked recommended not to come to Georgetown. Therefore, leaving his home in Wilmington, Delaware, he ventured down I-95 back in 1975 eagerly desiring to make a go at persevering at this oft despised institution. Fortunately, he came equipped with a BA. degree in Biological Sciences from the Univer- sity of Delaware and a strong Christian faith by the grace of God. From the very beginning Iohn established himself as a dependable f?j notetaker. During the pre-clinical years Gross Anatomy and Pharmacology were particularly enjoyed. Memories include long hours in the lab and library, Mark's singing, and worsening eyesight. The clinical years were another story altogether. Most is best left untold, but appreciation does go to those instructors who challenged him, and those patients who invariably had more patience than he did. Ultimate thanks go to his parents whose love and support are ever constant. Thanks, Mom and Dad, with all my heart. Special thanks, of course, go to my brothers and sisters in Christ at the community house in Rosslyn. 'tWithout a doubt l'll miss all the good times together, the warm fellowship, and the excellent mealsf' To the only wise God be glory for evermore through Iesus Christf,

Bruce, another of our exiled Californians, comes to Georgetown with the somewhat dubious distinction of being among the older gentlemen of his class. Graduating from high school in 1965, Bruce found himself to be among the lucky ones especially selected for war games in Viet Nam. After serving four years overseas in the U.S. Navy, Bruce had his DD214 in hand and was blessedly and gloriously civilian again. Enrolling at California State University at Northbridge, he majored in biology and judy this favorite anatomic subjectj. Bruce received his degree in both. Coming to the Washington area was slightly traumatic for the Blandys. The weather was a major adaptation for both of them to adjust to. With their inexhaustible passion for adventure in the outdoors, Bruce and judy have adapted well to the change and experienced the great diversity of fun the East has to offer .. . . .. .. . From hiking in the Smokies, skiing in Pennsylvania, ice skating along the C8rO canal, canoeing on the Potomac, bicycling, and beaching at Assateaque, to surfing those outrageous rights at Cape Hatteras, N.C. The Blandy's have thoroughly enjoyed their stay here, but still are to return to the good ole' West coast where Bruce plans on setting up his practice after a short stint in the Navy. Bruce dedicates this page to his wife, judy, whose love and affection is his moral sustenance.
