 Dr. Kozera’s, said this: “He loved Temple. He would do anything to defend its honor. That was his aim in life: to do the right thing for the students, the faculty, and the school.” Dr. Kozera was an avid golfer and skillful pianist. He was always a calming presence among his family and friends. 1 le is survived by his three children, Leslie, Brian (Kristin), and Matthew (Amanda) and three granddaughters, Paige, Josephine, and Avery. He was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia Utter Kozera. ii He will be sorely missed for his acetic wit, his analytical fastidiousness, and most of all, for his unassailable devotion to the School, its students, its faculty, and its community; He lived and breathed the Temple Mission. 99

THANK YOU to oim admirniWloa, |acul{ mI Auppont Atx|| The Class of 2015 extends its deepest, most sincere thanks to the people who have helped us get this far. To our faculty: you are our bedrock. Our time here has been built around your dedication to imparting your knowledge to us in so many different ways. Both in and out of the classroom and hospital, we have turned to you for enlightenment, understanding and advice. To Micki, Ruth, Alexis, Francine and Joanne: our worlds might actually have collapsed without your generous support, patience, and endless hard work. It wasn’t until fourth year that we realized how much you do for each class every single day. We had to complete this journey to understand what an integral part you have played in it. To the Library staff: some of us literally lived in your pleasant company around exam time. We could never have reached each academic milestone without your dedication and kindness. Derek, you have held many of our hands and helped guide us through our most stressful endeavors; your hugs have kept us from giving up. You have all motivated us to study that much harder. To Meg, Ann. Waineen. Betty Anne, and Rhonda: you held the keys to our clinical years and despite some of our freak-outs, helped us remain calm and piece together our breadth of clinical experiences. To the Technical Services team: our entire academic standing depended on your efforts. We know we aren't always easy to deal with—individually or as a massive stressed-out group—and we thank you for always being available to help with class capture, exams, and the magical LCMS. To the maintenance staff: this beautiful building might have fallen apart without you. Your work to brighten our days, especially behind the scenes, is deeply appreciated. No one could imagine what our homes actually look like after seeing this place. To Student Health Services: thank you for stemming the tide of our rising hypochondria. To Financial Services: thank you for helping us navigate the new and scary world of graduate loans. We have relied on you since before we started so that we could actually pay our tuition bills and you have guided us all the way through the new and scary world of repayment. To the Mailroom staff: none of us would actually be here without you. From our admissions applications to the pages on which these words are printed, your hard work is the reason we are here. To the Bookstore staff: from sweatshirts to textbooks, we have turned to you for just about everything we've used to study these last four years. Trust us, the sweatshirts were as valuable as the books for studying in the MERB library. To all of you and to the many others we must be forgetting, we say THANK YOU for your daily and continuous support! 2015 Skull —9
