M. Lucinda Strycker, D.P.M. Senior Editor of Achilles 1996 Follow your dream- take one step at a time and don't settle for less, just continue to climb. Follow your dream... if you stumble, don't stop and lose sight of your goal, press on to the top... For only on top can we see the whole view, can we see what we've done and what we can do, can we have the vision to seek something new... Press on... and follow your dream. -Amanda Bradlev 5

LeGrand Newman, M.Ed. In Memoriam The PCPM community suffered a great loss when LeGrand Newman, M.Ed., Associate Dean of Student Affairs, passed away last June at the age of 54. LeGrand received his baccalaureate degree in biology from Elizabeth City State College and a Masters degree in education from Temple University. LeGrand served the College for over twenty years. He was a dedicated and important member of the Student Affairs staff. In addition to being instrumental in minority student recruitment, he directed the STEP program which introduced junior college students to the field of podiatric medicine and the College. LeGrand also coordinated the SARP program for incoming first year students. He was a friend and counselor to all PCPM students and in particular a mentor for minority students. He was also active in many outside organizations such as the National Association of Medical Minority Educators. LeGrand was a trusted colleague and good friend for many years. His warmth and service to PCPM are greatly missed. —

John F. D'Aprix President Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine JOHN F. D’APRIX rataocM To I he Class of 1996: You have negotiated successfully to its completion, the first leg of your professional journey by completing an unrelentingly challenging course of study experienced by only an exceedingly small percentage of our society. For this, you have my heartfelt congratulations. You also have my respect for having been so strongly motivated that you perserved in the presence of not only a daunting curriculum, but an anxiety-engendering environment of change. Yours Is the first class to feel the full impact of major sea changes in the healthcare sector which undoubtedly will alter irrevocably the course of podiatry as a profession. As it is unlikely that these seas soon will be calm, it is important for you to rely upon the anchor of your own skills and knowledge to secure your competitive position and to seek safe harbor with others in the profession. Finally, you have my best wishes for a healthy and prosperous future life in which the memory of this small College and your brief passage through it will be increasingly appreciated. Sincerely, John R D'Aprix j EIGHTH AT RACE STREET • PHILADELPHIA. PA 19107-2 0 • 215-fe2 5 00 • Fax: 215-029-1929 6
