Dr. Lorber's attention to teaching dates back, to his own education. ‘Me attended Swart hmorc College because htefeft their program had a strong commitment to students. Me continued his education at the ‘University of tVennsylvania School of Medicine. Ole first came to Temple ‘University as a resident in Medicine, drazvn here by the then recent appointment of ‘Dr. Sol Sherry to the faculty. Mis decision to become a fellow in Infectious ‘Disease came (ate in his residency. Me had been a conscientious objector during the war. While waiting for an honorable discharge he decided to go on into a fellowship. Me chose ID because he felt that it allowed him to work with two biological systems, one being the patient and his illness; the other, the infectious agent that caused the illness. Dr. Lorber's life, however, is more than medicine. During his years at Swarthmore College, he met his unfe Carol. They have two sons, Sam, twenty, and josh, eighteen. Mis hobbies include guitar-playing and photography. 8
