1991 SKULL YEARBOOK Luis A. Pagan-Carlo EditorinChief Greg S.

Scott Palmer Thomas Lafferty Photographers Frederick Burton Renee Glass Daniel Frowhcln Heron Rattray Robert Stein Daniel Woolley Art Scott Sher This 67th edition of The Skull is meant as a scrapbook of our four years in medical school. It is not meant as an historical account of Temple University School of Medicine and yet in some ways it probably is. As individuals, most of us have experienced changes in our lives, some unexpected and some planned. In this same period. TUSM has undergone substantial changes as well. Since we arrived in September 1987. there have been four Deans of the medical school (Drs. Goldberg. Baum. Kozera. Myers). The Skin and Cancer Hospital closed, and the section of Dermatology became a subdivision of Internal Medicine. At the old Skin and Cancer Hospital we saw the opening of the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only one of its kind in the city. Temple became the largest heart transplant center on the east coast, and when we set foot on campus in September 1987. the old hospital was gone. In addition, we were the last class to do our Pediatric rotation at the old St. Chris at 5th and Lehigh, and the first class to witness the opening of the new St. Chris. On a bigger scale, during the past four years we saw the Cold War end and a new era between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. begin. We saw the Berlin Wall come down. We have lived through Philadelphia's near-bankruptcy and the Temple strike and we have seen the country go to war in Kuwait. The crew that put this book together can be counted on one hand, and yet the number of people that helped indirectly is fairly large. To all those who helped in some way but are not mentioned directly-thank you. Many thanks also go to: the financial supporters, without whom there would be no book, including alumni, faculty and affiliates-you come through year after year; Mary. Sharon. Margaret. Gloria and Sandy, for putting up with me this past year and helping me out: Drs. Rosen and Kozera for their help and support: Medical Communications staff, specifically Cheryl. Stan and Otto: The Skull staff: John who stuck with this production under the most adverse conditions, a testament to his character: and finally Greg for coming through when needed, but most of all for arguing with me when he thought I was wrong. The class of 1991 has taken a certain amount of pride in rocking the boat. Rest assured the production of this yearbook was nothing short of that. We have accumulated four years of good and bad experiences, not surprising with all the changes around us. A great deal has been learned about our character as individuals, by ourselves and by our classmates. Now. we will be part of Temple's short and diverse history. We have chosen to dedicate this yearbook to Dr. David S. Smith (a man who has dedicated more than thirty years to Temple medical students) in this way tying ourselves to the past. It has been an interesting four years. Good Luck!! , J —Luis Pagan-Carlo 8 ----Skull Staff
