As we now prepare to start our medical careers, let us carefully dissect each of the components that have made this accomplishment a reality. For we can truly say it was the determination, the education, the hands on experience, and the support of our family and friends that have made us the doctors we are today.

DEDICATION Gloria S. Greenberg Gloria Greenberg was a presence in our medical school careers from our first days of orientation when she filled us in with the details of our classroom days ahead. Her presence became even more striking when it came time for the lottery during our second year. Many of us tried to get to know her very well with hopes that she would facilitate our trades or keep us in mind as slots that we wanted became available. As our interactions with her increased in frequency, they often would increase in duration. It was inevitable that during our time as medical students at Temple, we would come to know Gloria as the kind, hard working and sometimes even overwhelmed person that really had the power to make things happen. Having been such a powerful presence, it is obvious that her absence from the tiny office in the MRB brought much sadness to the medical school community. For all of her many contributions to the medical school, we, the Class of 2003, deemed it only appropriate that we dedicate our yearbook to her as a timeless token of our thanks. Gloria Greenberg was born on May 22, 1928 as her mother was transported through the halls of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital en route to a delivery room. She was the youngest of six children born to William and Tillie Steiner, Russian immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island as children. Gloria grew up in Philadelphia in a house at 1111 South Street that sat behind the women’s apparel store her parents owned and operated. Her schooling took place in Philadelphia where she attended Randall School and Bartlett Junior High before graduating from the Philadelphia High 4 • 2003 Skull
