Temple University School of Dentistry - Odontolog Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

DEDICATION 1991 was a year of great international drama. As dental students, we were constantly aware that our struggles to emerge as dental professionals were minimized by thoughts of the millions of individuals whose very survival would hang in the balance of what was to become the most impressive military display in the United States history. We would be remiss in our need to express our sense of gratitude and pride if we did not share the honor of this year's dedication with the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who so gallantly gave of themselves to liberate Kuwait and restore balance to the international community. God bless you all. We are very fortunate here at Temple Dental school to have had a faculty member who not only gave unselfishly of himself at our institution, but also as the highest ranking dental officer in the U.S. Navy. This year marks the retirement of Admiral Paul Farrell from his tenure at Temple where he served as both clinical professor and chairman of the Operative Dentistry Department. He previously commanded the entire U.S. Naval Dental Corps during his twenty year naval career. Dr. Farrell is a warm and approachable man who always enjoyed sharing his knowledge with students. We wish him well in his retirement and dedicate this year’s Odontolog to Dr. Farrell for his contributions to both our school and the dental Dr. Admiral Paul Farrell 5

Dear Class of 1991, First of all, I would like to thank Bob Bcntz and everyone else who worked so hard to make this yearbook a reality. It was a tremendous effort, and I am sure that as time goes on our appreciation will only increase when we look at such a wonderful reminder of our years at Temple Dental (assuming, of course, that we do want to remember). I’m just kidding, because in spite of all the struggles we have endured, there has been an awful lot of good here — helpful instructors, caring staff, enjoyable patients, and especially, ourselves. When I look back on my years in dental school, my fondest memories will be of my classmates. We are a great group of people. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my special friends here, who were so instrumental in helping me to make it through. I hope to see you dowrn the road. I wish everyone the best of good fortune in the future, and once again, thank you for all you have given me. Sincerely, Frank Nunan, President Class of 1991 P.S. put the wrong quote for my Mother on my own page. She always says that “Everything happens for a reason. Given all of our experiences here, I hope she's right.
