Sharon J. Anghel, DPM Merrick, NY Villanova University Congratulations TUSPM c o 2011! We have all worked very hard to reach this stage and I wish everyone the best in their future endeavors. I’d like to thank all the doctors in the clinic who truly cared about our education and did their best to prepare us for externships, residencies, and our careers. To my parents: 1 truly appreciate all that you have done for me, your continuing encouragement, your endless motivation, and all the love you have shown me throughout my life. 1 couldn’t be luckier to have both of you as parents. To all my great friends here: I'm so glad we all picked this wacky, foot fetish profession together! From girl’s game nights, to Vermont skiing trips, to drama filled Halloweens, to solving crossword puzzles with ‘the best clinic group, my time here has been unforgettable. Good thing that I’m such an avid faccbook user and can continue to stalk... I mean keep in touch with all of you! Laura: (Dong. I know what you're thinking and shhh...) Thank you for being such a caring roommate and friend. We’ve had quite a few adventures during our time here (yay Vegas!) and 1 can't think of anyone else I’d rather share those memories with. Geoff: What can I say but.... GORF!, nom nom, gumbo shrimp, and goober. You don’t know so many thing but know ihat Uoveyouverymuch. Thanks for being you. 20ii j n 1
