Paul Steven Koppelman, D.D.S. Paul's home lies in Kew Garden Hills, New York. I-le attended SUNY at Stonybrook for a B.S. in biology and psychology. Any sport that either kept him outdoors, sunning, or just working up a good sweat was his love. Paul also found fun in training dogs as a part- time job. I-le plans a residency in New York or New England with a possible associateship or group practice. Paul was able to generalize the tours of notable significance as those in which the instructors could be spoken to. Thanks are never-ending to his parents for their love, confidence, and support, and his brothers, Mitch and Ken, whom, along with Shelly, and so many good friends, helped him to appreciate his good times during dental school, as well as those he will have in the future. Also, recognition is given to the memory of Shayne for sharing so much time through some of the best and some of the hardest times. 5. W! 1 L. ...I .gifmgfgm U

Paul Kirk, D.D.S When I walked into Freshman Orientation in the fall of '75 I really did not know that I wanted to be a dentist. I only knew that it was the logical choice for me. I sensed that dentistry would provide me the independence, challenge, and life-style I desired, but I could not draw on any personal experiences to chase away my feelings of ambivalence toward the profession. During these past four years I have grown to appreciate, respect, land even envyj the abilities and efforts of my classmates and instructors. I feel happy to say that since these years have not been without hostility toward some of my classmates, instructors, and the institution of dental education fstill the most archaic and stifling form of education I've ever experiencedj. Be that as it may, I leave Georgetown excited about dentistry and my participation in its future and that feeling is a real tribute to the spirit of this profession. Undergraduate Academics: St. Vincent College fPhilosphyj QI think, therefore I amj U of Miami fSciencesj fl memorize, therefore I amj Dental school activities: aj Waiting tables bl Waiting for instructors Immediate and ultimate practice plans: Find a job and repay my loans so the government will finally be able to balance its budget. Favorite quote: Everything I have ever said Kudos: to Mom and Dad for their love and acceptance of a 30-year old student to Florence . . . I will be thanking you for the rest of my life to Cyril, an atomic powered delight to Mark I, who showed me there is value in California to Paul K, whose smile helped NUDCE me along to Howard, the Pretty Boy of them all to Rex, who knew nothing but Right On

Reed Kuratomi, D.D.S. At last! The end is a little blurry but it is starting to come into focus. It is a dream come true The chance to get my life story foption B 250 words or lessj published in hard cover and distributed nationwide. It all started a long time ago in a far-away place where the air is a little drier, the smog is a little thicker, and the sun sets into the ocean. l see a little boy sporting a crew cut, a dashing pair of overalls, and a snot-covered flannel shirt. Yes he's sitting in an alley and eating a rather large carrot, clutching a box of precious junk, and dreaming of being part of the establishment and owning his own junk store. Where did this dream get screwed up? What happened to the crew cut and snot-covered flannel shirt? What happened to all of this boy's savings and that of his family? And why did he not spend 250 words dedicating his page to Mom for all her love, inspiration, and Support? Sounds like enough for a sequel.
