Charles Dickens wrote, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, as an introduction to A Tale of Two Cities. Yet looking back at my past four years at Stern, I find it also to be an appropriate introduction. For me, my experience here was a synthesis of two worlds, the world out there and the world right here. It was an age of wisdom because we learned so much about Torah and life, It was an age of foolishness when we would stay up until all hours just talking. It was an epoch of belief when President Sadat went to visit Prime Minister Begin in Israel. It was an epoch of incredulity when President Carter proposed selling jets to Saudi Arabia. It was the season of light when finals were over. It was the season of darkness when finals began. It was the spring of hope when we laughed. It was the winter of despair when we cried. Our four year stay here seems to have been short, yet quite fulfilling. We learned much from our professors, and we thank you. From one class to another, year in and year out, our professors were always ready to help, listen and guide. We will never forget those that aided in shaping our lives. As for my fellow graduates, I have come to know all of you during the course of putting this yearbook together. It has not always been easy for Alisa and myself, but it has finally become a reality. Congratulations are due to us all. To my friends in the dorm, thanks for always having an extra bed for me. We laughed together, we cried together, we talked, we complained, we shared many a cigarette and heartache. Just remember, it is not over, it is just moving to my neighborhood next year. To my parents, who deserve the world, you will just have to settle for my love and deep respect. You know that if it was not for your perseverence, I would never have come here. To Ronny and Risa, now I know why you always stayed home on Friday nights. To Danny and Marilyn, a few words but much emotion. To Debby, Joshua, Rebecca, Michelle and Sandy, remember, your aunt went to Stern. With all due respect to Mr. Dickens, We had everything before us and I believe we still have everything before us!
