During the summer of his senior year. Bill married the former Joan Bonanni. whom he had been dating since high school. Shortly after graduation from Niagara, their first child. Denise, was born. Since then, they have been blessed with three additional lovely children, two of whom have been born while Bill was attending P.C.P.M. Upon completion of his podiatric education. Bill intends to open a practice in the Morrisville area. It must be noted that without the help and sacrifice of Bill's parents, none of this would have been possible and for that reason Bill and Joan would like to express their sincere gratitude for all they have done.

On a sunny July morning in 1943. Joe and Margaret became the sometimes proud, sometimes not so proud, parents of their first and only child Judy. Her formative years were spent wandering through the hills of scenic West Mifflin. When the time for college arrived, the choice was the University of Pittsburgh. When she became saturated with West Mifflin. Pitt, and Iron City, the local library provided information about the profession of podiatry. Judy then set out for Philadelphia in her new Mustang, affectionately called Horsie. and began what later proved to be a completely unique experience. In an effort to maintain her sanity amid the chaos, she became active in the student council and Podo-prints. Being editor of the Achilles made her senior year pass quickly but not so quietly. Then, one day in May. the nightmare was over and the dream began on the beaches of Big Sur. California. JUDITH A. DYNOSKE

Bob was first introduced to his parents on a warm June night in a North Philadelphia hospital nursery. As a child he walked, but more often ran the same area streets after little girls or from their bigger boy friends. Running on the Northeast High School track team was more fun than were the forced marches in the Army Medical Corps where he completed his foot growth, and began his foot problems. Discharged from the service because of cold feet due to old Jack Frost, he pursued the study of the ’■tube in order to see what his feet looked like inside of those pale epidermal coverings. While working as a registered tube man. seventy-five to one hundred hours per week, he complet ed his under-graduate studies at LaSalle College directly across the street from the same nursery where he once left his foot prints With hospital life still much in his blood, he pounded the floors of the social worker's office of Embreeville State Hospital in Embreeville Pennsylvania. It was at this institution that he became acquainted with the hospital staff podiatrist, found help for his poor feet, and shortly thereafter began his study of podiatry. ROBERT R. HENSON
