3400 North Broad Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19140 iHirfifllwi DEDICATION Dr. Albert Lamperti When confronted with a problem, the class of 2000 knows it can turn to Dr. Albert Lamperti. His office door is always open, and the students know they will be greeted with a warm smile, and honest answers. Whether academic or personal, Dr. Lamperti is always willing to lend a helping hand. Dr. Albert Lamperti was born on 10 24 47 in the Bronx. New York. He learned hard work early as he watched his parents. Dr. Lamperti’s father was an accountant in Manhattan. He remembers his father leaving on the early train and returning late in the evening. Dr. Lamperti's mother worked hard as a secretary. As the youngest of three children. Dr. Lamperti learned that family is paramount. They taught him tolerance and respect for others. Catholic school provided the foundation for Dr. Lamperti's education. He attended Our Lady Of Grace Catholic School, and Cardinal Spellman High School. During this time he was interested in observation and photography. With these interests, he had plans on becoming a detective, or if drafted during Vietnam, getting into photo surveillance. In the end, he enrolled in Manhattan College as a biology major. Unlike many biology majors, Dr. Lamperti knew medical school was not the path he wished to follow. As a volunteer orderly in a local ER, Dr. Lamperti learned that he did not want to be a physician. He enjoyed working with and helping people, but did not want a physician’s lifestyle. It was also during his volunteer experiences that Dr. Lamperti met his future wife, Vita. As fate would have it, Dr. and Mrs. Lamperti graduated from the same high school in the same year. Their paths crossed again when Mrs. Lamperti also worked in the same ER as a RN. They married in May of 1972, and have since raised two boys. His active decision to devote more time to family was recognized by his sons. Mrs. Lamperti states that both boys felt that “their dad was always there for them. After taking a comparative anatomy class. Dr. Lamperti realized he wanted to study human anatomy. Dr. Lamperti credits his interest in anatomy to his professor. He claims the professor's boisterous and charismatic personality drew him into this field. Family folklore would indicate that Dr. Lamperti’s interest began long before this, as a youngster in New York. As a child. Dr. Lamperti found and dissected a dead rat. He placed the rat’s heart in a jar with ethanol, and displayed it on his shelf. Besides rat autopsies, his childhood was notable for a squirrel’s tail which hung from his bedroom ceiling. This hobby carried over into adulthood. Once Mrs. Lamperti brought home a dead snake for dissection. Other times, a neighbor's dead bat. an intrusive mole, or a dead family pet would serve as learning specimens. Dr. Lamperti imparted his fascination with the intricacies of anatomy to his sons with his enthusiasm. This collection of meticulously dissected skeletons was donated by Dr. Lamperti to a local nature center so others could share in the knowledge. After graduating from college. Dr. Lamperti attended graduate school at the University of Cincinatti to study human anatomy. He was intrigued by the “intricacy of the body and coordination of its parts.” One of the important challenges he met in graduate school was teaching. In fact after his first experience with lecturing in front of a class, he suffered terrible headaches. Soon.however, teaching became an integral part of who he was. and after graduation. Dr. Lamperti stayed on as a faculty member for seven more years. Teaching students became as important to him as his research. Dr. and Mrs. Lamperti on their wedding day Soon Dr. Lamperti’s research was overshadowed by his love of teaching. What Dr. Lamperti enjoys the most from teaching is “hearing the clicks when a student finally understands a concept. In turn, he delights in learning from students’ questions. Often a question will be posed that requires a bit of investigation on his part as well as the student. Although now an expert teacher. Dr. Lamperti still considers it a personal challenge to generate several different ways to explain a difficult concept. According to Dr. Lamperti. one of the greatest challenges facing teaching today is the change in the methods of conveying and accessing information. For example, general information is provided to the student in the form of CD ROMs. Now students do not need to sit in lecture to get the information. Time spent on lectures can now be used for discussions and workshops which. Dr. Lamperti hopes, will cement the information and integrate groups of information. Dr. Lamperti’s dedication to the students was further recognized in December of 1997. It was then that Dr. Lamperti was offered, and accepted. the position of Assistant Dean for Student Affairs to the Medical School. With this position came new challenges. such as balancing time between teaching and administrative duties. Now students come to Dr. Lamperti for advice with academic and personal problems. Dr. Lamperti describes his new position as much like a “roto-rooter, or a traffic cop. He spends much time getting to the bottom of a situation, or directing students to the right location for the solution to their problem. Dr. Lamperti is most proud of two accomplishments. The first is becoming a full professor in 1997. a clear recognition of his excellence in teaching and in service. The second accomplishment is more obscure Dr. Lamperti’s sons, Tom and Alex Watching the stars Dr. and Mrs. Lamperti on vacation 6 and involves his passion for astronomy. Sir William Hershel, a famous astronomer, observed 2.476 clusters and galaxies in the night sky over his lifetime. After eleven years of careful observation, Dr. Lamperti became one of only a small handful (3) of people to accomplish the same feat. Dr. Lamperti’s childhood interest in astronomy was rekindled as an adult when his son decided to buy a telescope. Since then, he has served as president of the local astronomy club for one term, was treasurer, and is now the Director of Publicity for the group. When not star gazing, he enjoys listening to music. His musical preferences are quite varied, such as George Winston, Enya or Yanni. Dr. Lamperti will also frequent the symphony, ballet or opera. Although not a self described sports fanatic, he likes to watch games on TV. especially baseball. Dr. Lampertis commitment to the students of Temple University is inexhaustible. From lecturing medical students to providing academic guidance, he is always willing to help a student. Even as we, the class of 2000, embark on our careers as physicians. Dr. Lamperti is still providing guidance. He states “ Learn from your patients. Education is a two way street. You have knowledge, but your patients can still teach you. It is with deep gratitude and appreciation that we. the class of 2000, for his timely advice, gentle guidance, and dedication to teaching, honor Dr. Albert Lamperti with the dedication of the SKULL 2000. You were always there for us. Dr. and Mrs. Lamperti Mrs. Lamperti and “the other woman The Lampertis on the blessing of their 25th wedding anniversary. 7 HOODERS Hoods are a relic of medievalism in modern academic life. The hood's silken lining is the color of the university conferring the degree, and the velvet indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry and white; the dark green represents medicine. Hooders are individuals who symbolically bestow our degrees upon us. Each year the senior class chooses four individuals to place Academic Hoods upon us at our graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication to the Class and to Temple University School of Medicine. Our four years in medical school have been easier and more enjoyable due to individuals such as these, and they have served as inspirations and role models to us all. Hooders for the Class of 2000 are; Dr. Amy Goldberg, Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, Dr. Denise Hartman, Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Carson Schneck, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and Dr. Gerald Sterling, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Associate Dean for Medical Education. On behalf of the Class of 2000, the yearbook staff wishes to thank each of our hooders for the time they have taken to guide us through the beginning of our medical careers. Dr. Amy Goldberg Dr. Denise Hartman 9 Dr. Gerald Sterling On behalf of all the faculty at the Temple University School of Medicine. I extend to you the heartiest of congratulations. You have worked very diligently during your time at Temple and we are proud of all of your accomplishments. It is a pleasure to witness the growth of future physicians and to see its culmination as you prepare to graduate. The skills, knowledge and caring that you have developed while at Temple will provide a solid foundation for your future growth. We thank you for allowing us to be part of your extended family during your stay here and we welcome you to the Temple family as proud alumni. 12 -Leon S. Malmud. M.D. ADMINISTRATION Leon Malmud.

Thank you to all my brothers and sisters at Temple SNMA Nelson Atembe Tajong, M.D. And there are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty. There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy. nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space. Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth. From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran Veronica Triaca.

However, what lies between our first year and this last one is a body of knowledge and experience centered on basic sciences, clinical practice and the physician-patient relationship. Yet. in reality, medical school only marks the beginning of our exploration of medicine. We are fortunate in that our loved ones, teachers and mentors have given us the tools to continue our journey. Although this yearbook may only be half the length of our Robbins pathology text, it still demanded many hours of dedication from many people both within and outside of the Temple system. We would like to thank the entire SKULL 2000 staff for all your time and effort in photographing, selling hoagies, organizing the restaurant raffle, selling raffle tickets and selling advertisement space. Thank you to our advisor. Kenneth Cundy. Ph.D., for all the hours of proofreading and guidance. We are indebted to Cheryl Arthur, our typesetter, advertisement section guru and constant source of encouragement and support. This list would be incomplete without thanking the wonderful people in the Dean's office: Dean Rosen, Dean Lamperti. Dean Sterling, Sharon. Margaret, Gloria and Renae. They handled lots of pictures, phone calls and yearbook editors looking for office keys. A very special thanks to Lisa Naab and the entire staff at Cooke Publishing for your comprehensive instruction, endless patience, sound advice and constant support. Finally, we wish to thank all the parents, faculty, friends, businesses and of course the Class of 2000 whose financial contributions made this book possible. Congratulations, Doctors! We wish all of you only the best as you begin your medical careers. 391 Dr. Kenneth Cundy Cheryl Arthur SKULL 2000 STAFF Editors In Chief: Scott E. Shapiro • Miriam Peled • Melissa L.
