Gary was a special type of child who knew at age four what his future would bring. He was born in a Ritter chair in Atlantic City Hospital on July 20, 1945 to Leonard Charlotte. At a unbelievable young age of three years, little Gary was most proficient at clipping toe nails which was a hint to his future ambition. Gary attended Atlantic City High School but this institution was not able to stimulate his unbelievable quest for knowledge so he transferred to Atlantic City Friends School where he graduated. Gary then picked a college where he would not be distracted by normal earthly whims. He chose Wilmington College in the backwoods of Ohio. After two years of undergraduate education. Gary had extracted all the practical knowledge to be received from Wilmington College and proceeded to P.C.P.M. as one of the youngest students ever admitted. Gary has spent four uneventful years at P.C.P.M. Gary is known for his cleanliness around his apartment and his 99 average in Doctor L. Hymes courses.

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

From this small beginning he moved onto surfboards. stock brockerage. and Glassboro College. Rick finally found his way to podiatry with a short stop the weekend before coming to P.C.P.M. to marry his wife. Barbara. Frequent trips to Florida, and handsome rewards from the Big Board, have convinced Rick that the Gold Coast is his place to practice podiatry, sell hot dogs, rent surfboards, etc. RICHARD P. JACOBY
