We Came from Across the Land. One of Tulane ' s most valuable assets is the diverse group of people it draws to New Orleans for medical training from around the United States and other parts of the world. Students from as close as Missis- sippi and Arkansas, and as far away as Panama and Puerto Rico bring a variety of geographical, socioeconomical, political, and religious backgrounds that help enrich our understanding of and give us insight into the needs and problems of different peoples.

In Memoriam Judith J. Temple. MD 1954-1987 Lewis I. Post, MD 1918-1987 Dr. Judith Temple lost her life in a tragic auto accident last year. A staff physician in the Hematology and Oncology Section of the Department of Medicine and a member of AOA, Judy was highly regarded for her excellence in many areas. Students recognized her as a dedicated instructor and role model. Colleagues admired her clinical judgement and rapport with patients. Her absence will be sorely felt, not only by those who have worked with her, but by future students who will not know the joy of her inspiration and counsel. By only listening to him it became obvious that Dr. Lewis Post enjoyed his work. During his long tenure with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tulane, he shared the knowledge derived from his many years of medical experience with thousands of residents and students, who knew him as a practical man, a patient teacher, and a caring physician. His humor, philosophy, and encouragement will be missed by those who reaped the benefits of his teaching and wisdom.

In our class alone there are jazz musicians, instrumentalists, cartoonists, poets, artists, and songwriters. Athletes from almost every sport also abound — runners, swimmers, cyclists, skiers, divers, hikers, canoeists, windsurfers, and (of course) Ultimate Frisbee fanatics. We have gourmet cooks who have introduced some of us to Brazilian codfish pie, Cuban black beans, Indonesian rice dishes, Spanish flans, Swedish herring, grilled salmon from the Northwest, enchiladas. New England chowders, as well as boiled crawfish and blackened redfish, not to mention a cake decorator who made many a birthday special. There is even amongst us a relative of the inventor of the Homan ' s Sign. Through our discussions of politics, social issues, music, and art, we have helped each other to open our minds, or to confirm within us previously established opinions. The spectrum of thoughts, ideas, and creativity among our class is often surprisingly broad — perhaps broader than we are willing to admit. ..or put up with. This diversity has exposed us to new concepts and experiences, enriched our lives, piqued our interests, and helped us to accept and enjoy the differences in others. It is something that makes Tulane unique from many other medical schools. We will continue to enrich the hves of each other in the years to come as we continue and renew friendships formed while acquiring our medical educations. 21 Our Home States —.
