Maurice To The Class Of 1989: The years here at PCPM have been as fleeting as our thoughts of graduation back in our first year ‘shade number three of grey (remember the winter doldrums ?) Many bonds of both lifelong friendships and love were made during our brief, but intense stay in Philadelphia. If for nothing more than this, we must be thankful to PCPM However, we leave here not only with memories of both good times and bad. but with a new horizon upon which we. as the best the profession of podiatry has to offer, will shine so brilliantly. I would like to present the Achilles 1989 to the Class of 1989.1 hope that you all enjoy reading it as much as the Achilles staff and I enjoyed creating it. I wish to thank the wonderful people who spent so much of their precious time helping to design a real piece of PCPM pride. A special thanks to Mark Johnston, who as my roommate was a captive co-editor; Lynne Casper for the many hours of help on senior section; Bob and Lisa Fink for professional methodology of an advertising campaign on par with Coke!: Vibha Pareh. Sanjay Patel, Kristin Janson and Craig Christenson for their great ideas and help; Joel Morse for his sense of humor. To each of you as Doctors of Podiatric Medicine, friends, and colleagues. I wish to you nothing but happiness and only the best life has to offer you You have all worked so very hard, and you certainly deserve it fondly. Maurice Warren Aiken I

PCPM Class Of 1989 June 3rd $12,600 X 4 | The Achilles Tribune Philadelphia, PA June 3, 1989 Today at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine will have its commencement ceremony for graduates. One hundred and twenty three students will step forward as new Doctors of Podiatric Medicine. Four years ago, 146 people from many different backgrounds and life experiences gathered together in a nondescript classroom, the first of three that would become home to all alike. These classrooms would each take on their own character, as the laughter, whispering, chattering and moans of their inhabitants created the bonds of the Class of 1989. If only walls could talk ... they would -have much to retell about the Class of '89. Too numerous to recall, everyone has their own special memories and nightmares. Albeit, graduation will commence today. A day we always thought was too far away is suddenly here. We will leave behind friends made and times shared, but we will always have PCPM, for good or for bad. as a four year mark on our lives. We are still all very different with different ideas and manners, but PCPM will always be our common bond for the past, present and future. 10
