Four years of dental school is a long and arduous path to becoming a member of a learned profession. The good news is—as told to me by numerous recent graduates—that there is life after dental school. You should take pride in your achievement, and take pride as well in the education you received at Temple. Our graduates tell us of their growing confidence, as they realize their skills are equal to or better than those of their peers from other dental schools. The dreaded requirement system actually works! Our new alumni ae tell us they have experience in treating more oral manifestations, performed more procedures and have achieved a knowledge of laboratory technique far greater than those other graduates. Our graduates tell me they are making more money than they imagined and, perhaps most important, they are having fun doing it. I hope the Class of 2002 Finds not only pride but pleasure in the practice of their chosen profession. Sincerely, Faculty Dedication Class of 2002. Congratulations on your finally getting all the requirements and headaches completed. Of course this resulted in your getting that coveted diploma. Remember, be good to dentistry, and it will be good to you! Dr. Monasky From us to you, Thank you for getting us through removable the last two years of dental school. We appreciate all your sign-offs on lab slips, advice, and assistance in clinic. Good luck, and we wish you well!!!

I don't have 1 and 2 yet; however, I've just completed dream 3. I am very proud to say that I've finished dental school and that in the next few months, I will be working in the real world as a dentist. It was a long and hard road which took about 21 consecutive years of education. Now is when the real challenge begins. I want to thank all of the faculty of Temple Dental School who gave me the tools to be a competent dentist and I also want to wish good luck to my colleagues and a message in greek for my family: TA KATAFERA RE CAMOTO.

Thanks for your support and guidance. Best of luck to you all in your future endeavors!!! Beatriz Mirabal DMD Florida International University A frog found himself on a lily pad surrounded by alligators. 'If only I could hop far enough to dear the alligators and land on the next lily pad, 'he cried. As we go through life simply trying to dear the alligators and land on the next lily pad, we are forced to confront our share of issues every day. I would like to thank my family and friends for helping me overcome many obstacles along this journey. Without the help of my friends and family, it would have been very difficult to reach the next lily pad. Best of luck to all my classmates as you embark on new challenges and strive for excellence. Michael Moreno DMD Temple University Endodontic Study Club- President May your joys be as deep as the oceans, your troubles as light as its foam, and may you find peace of mind, where ever you may roam 86 James S Morrison DMD Connecticut State University I wish to extend warm thanks to members of the faculty and staff who made exceptional circumstances always seem attainable.

Lastly, thank you to my friends and family for many years ofsupport and guidance. I have become who I am today under your watchful love and attention. Sincerest regards -Steve 87 Kendall Mower DMD When I think back to dental schoolI will always remember the songs that would get stuck in my head before finals. I will remember the drowsy feeling that would come over me each time the lecture room lights were shut off. And I will remember the friendships that have been made. I want to thank my wife and daughter for their love, patience, and support. I want to thank the faculty and staff for the knowledge, lessons, and experiences they have passed on to me that will help in my future. Instead of asking, 'What do you want out of life?' I would like to ask 'What do you bring to life?' What you get depends upon what you give. Life brings to us only what it finds in us. Our job is to discover what life has given us, enlarge upon it, make the most of it, and distribute it wisely that others may profit by our experience. - Hugh B Brown 88 Joseph N Natoli DMD La Salle University Oral Surgery Honor Society Oral Surgery Study Club Well, I finally did it and I would like to especially thank my hard working wonderful parents who have supported me with my dreams and goals all my life.

I think it was Winston Churchill who said, I am always willing to learn however I do not always like to be taught. This has certainly been true in my case at Temple.

To my friends, thanks a million times over for the class notes, the borrowed instruments, the inside scoop on all the 'politics'of Temple, and the much needed fun times. One day we will look back at Temple with sufficient distance to realize that despite all of schumtz (that was forcefully delivered unto us via the p.r. route) there were happy times to.

Moreover, I deeply appreciate and will never forget the patience, tolerance, and friendships that I have developed with certain faculty and staff.

It's only been 25 years of forma! schooling; real life can now begin. 117 John So DMD University of Rhode Island Hema Somarajan DMD South East Missouri State University Oral Surgery Honor Society, American Student Dental Association, American Association of Women Dentists, Pediatric Honor Society, Asian American Study Club I would like to thank my parents for their unconditional love, support, and guidance through the years - Mom, you are my guiding light, I cannot imagine where I'll be without you.

Through the past four years of dental school, nearly every experience, good or bad, has had a positive influence on my life. These happenings have all changed my thought processes of how I handle situations, how I perceive and treat others as well as how I see myself. Even the everyday blips of knowledge, from chatting in the halls to personal talk with instructors, have all been part of the experience. It would be naive to say that it was easy, but I think that overall, it certainly was worth it. I also feel fortunate to have gone through this with such an eclectic group of people. I can hardly say a bad thing about any of you. I wish you all happiness and a sense of fulfillment thoughout life. I would like to thank all of Temple's faculty and staff for all of their help and suport in expediting my way through this maze. I would like to thank my friends for making things interesting and fun despite the monotony of teeth. I also would like to thank my parents for giving me the support I needed to make it where I am today. But most of all, I would like to say to my wife, Karen and daughter, Natalie that you are the two mam reasons why I am graduating from dental school and you make it all so worth it. I love you both. 135 Jody Zajacz DMD McGill University Many thanks to all who have been a part of my life. My mom for her love and support - emotional and financial. My dad for helping make it possible for me to come here. Jen, Tyler, and Travis for repeatedly testing my knowledge. My Grandparents who mean so much to me. And Alex for taking my mind off school.

Robert Coming up to the counter each and everyday, seeking to get your instruments without any kind of delay. Sometimes you were courteous, sometimes very rude Forcing us at sterilization to keep a serene mood. Never keeping track of what is turned in to be sterilized Yet, holding up space in line just hoping we could make your instruments materialize. When we finally discovered there were no instruments to be sought, we would chase you away from the counter looking distraught. We became the lost and found of the dental school for on a daily basis there were lost items turned in to us: keys. bags, appointments books, wallets, just to name a few. After a while, we were able to recognize items of the few of you who were always losing things And even though you guys wrecked our nerves a lot we love you as surrogate family members and we will miss some of you. 158 Good luck in your Futures: Brenda McBone Sterilization Queens Baiiles-Rccve.
