By the way Mom, you would be proud of me .... I made the List. NO, not the Dean’s List, the “Talking List” (Gumbara Cheech’s Research Project). Guess what, tomorrow we are taking a tour of the world’s only shoe museum............ . . . . This is more fun than any human being should be allowed to have. •Well Mom and Dad, that’s it for now. Please send money! I wish you were here. 12

Some of our other activities of the year included a course taught by two famous celebrities. Jack Benny and Olive Oil. While Benny exposed pertinent and relevant pathologic facts, most of the kids present are betting their care packages as to how many times he will look up. Mandatory attendance became mandatory absence as activity group size fell to an all time low of about twenty. One clever camper even tried getting away with a stuffed replica of himself in order to pass roll call. Dr Arden, your lectures arc unsurpassed by anyone at this institution. We even have an activity which combines the astute knowledge of our Pathology Department with the mechanics of Airco Technical Institute. A counselor known as King Harold and his court jester. Dr. Axelrod (AKA George Smith), taught us how to park a car within the sinus tarsi of a supinated foot. Although we learned about phasic muscle activity, it was never really clear just what phase of the gait cycle the extensor phallucis longus is active. Dr. Lenny Jacobs was in charge of Wednesday mornings. We thought we were learning a lot of Pharm until we met Counselor Confusion . . . AKA Brittner. We have just been informed that Roche labs will be here on May 1st, 1999. . «r PAUL STAUNTON How the hell should we know what color the monkey's eyes were in the video tape . . . We were excused from this course.

Dear Mom and Dad, This camp sucks!! We descended into the clinic which was uncharted territory for most of us. Any patients interested in seeing Valeria, dial her personal telephone number, 1-800-maim-me. If the line is busy, look in the dark room. If the light is on, you know she is there. Let me tell you about some of my new clinic counselors. Some of them specialize in “L.A.S.E.R. Empire Strikes Back podiatric technology. They are friendly and often display all of the warmth of a union strike. Another counselor is trying to recruit patients to NASA’s Space Program .... You know, like an astronaut. Boot camp starts at 13:30 sharp, with full podiatric ammunition. Hey, anybody got a lozenge . . . One elder Tuberly Counselor used to be real happy until the “West Coast Kid showed up and now everyone gets a full body ROM exam along with a brand new set of California surfboards. m Hey, anybody got a lozenge? Anyone interested in slam dancing lessons .... Call the Community Health and Physical Rehabilitation Department. Our on hands surgical training was limited since the surgery department moved to 16th Girard. Suzy Synapse denies all connections to the statement “the lights are on but no one is home. Hey, anyone got a lozenge? n
