Cal. State Long Beacti, U.S.C. Deans List, Honor Student. . z - : i- p, What, it ' s snowing in Mammoth? I can ' t move without coffee. ' ' Why don ' t you open your jacket like me? ' What did you have for lunch Leon? Leon is the younger half of the infamous Desimone Brothers . Contrary to what is believed of the Weissman brothers, Leon and Ross aren ' t twins nor do they compete between themselves for the highest number of clinic points. Instead they see who can take the longest vacations and date the most hygienists. Leon has a lot to be thankful to Ross for though. Ross dropped back a whole year in school just to help Leon out. Well, it makes a good rumor anyway. Ever since Leon entered dental school, he has demonstrated his born to be a dentist abilities to do well with a minimum amount of effort. (It must be in the blood.) Except for some basic sciences, he breezed through pre-clinical and even felt comfortable taking some short vacations . . . like for a week or more in the middle of various trimesters! Now that man knows a good life style! Even though Leon lives quite a bit for today, he still is planning for tomorrow. His Dad has the practice covered, so while other people are worrying about what kind of practice to set up, Leon is deciding the right car to drive. He has already experimented with Cadillacs, Corvettes, and Porsches, and is probably only slightly less prepared than Azdair to face the real world and the used car market. All in all, we were lucky to have Leon in our class, and to keep him there. He decorated our clinic with his flashy clothes and the faculty parking lot with his cars, and it was a cold day in hell when there wasn ' t a smile on his face. Get down , Leon.

University of Arizona, B.S. M.S., O.K.U. God, you do have bad breath. Bet you couldn ' t pull bunnies like that out of a hat. Jeff and Cece. Cece says it ' s my best feature. Jeff came in with a redneck image, but behind the All-American look, the trim haircut, the saddle shoes (eat your heart out Dr. Riley) and the All-American peppy (now pregnant) wife CeCe, stands a warm goodlooking All-American guy. He always please d and sometimes tortured B-lab with his sight gags, drawings, and jokes. Most memorable were his drawings of how Dr. Soule first discovered pseudo-strafifed columnar epitheluim and Dr. Riley ' s submersible. He taught us the physically exhausting dance-the gator, initiated the 2nd annual Roger Riley Day, and became foosball champion of the dental school. Out side Jeff ' s lighter side are his golden hands . Never a day passed that there wasn ' t heard from the B-6 corner- Oh no, I really screwed this! or I just blew It . After awhile you realized that for Jeff to blow any preparation he would need both thumbs tied together, be blindfolded, and using a dull bardparker to cut it. Jeff has formed many friendships and with his relaxed attitude, easy wit, and with first class dentistry he and his new family will certainly do extremely well in the uncongested deserts of Arizona and will be missed in Los Angeles.

' Think I ' ll make enough to foot the bill? ■ S ' r C.S.U.L.B. Gee honey, looks like we ' re gonna loose another one. ' The day Henry Duncan walked into his first class of Dental School, no one knew what to expegt of this young, Black stranger with a hugh natural, high-heeled shoes, and smoking a fancy pipe. He had a quiet forcefulness about him that seemed a little unsettling to the students around him. Henry was a stranger for only a short time, quickly he became one of the most well-liked people in 8 Lab. He was always helping learning from his fellow colleagues. I think Henry established himself on the first exam has not looked back since. Undoubtedly he will be an inspiration to the Profession to the community wherever he wishes to practice. Good Luck, DR. D . This is livin ' ? I said we ' d do it together, and we did! .
