iSsiSiW ' S asmvaiXBaismiri ' i ■My patients usually pass out ' No, you blow and I ' ll suck. ' Fresno State University O.B., as Pat was known to his many friends, became a reject from the class of ' 77 after taking a summer off from the hassles of dental school. Rumor has it that he spent his summer running Rick Kahn ' s practice while Rick wrote his family dentistry grant, but, those of us who know knew he spent his time creating Klancy and scuba diving in Laguna. Pat could be a most obnoxious person - especially when you weren ' t looking for it. Many was the time he strolled up to your patient in the chair and said, What did you cut that with - a machette? But, even with incidents like that who else would you go to to have your ortho wires bent (for a minimal fee, of course) Not having seen any of his pre clinical work, many of us were surprised to see the superb quality of his clinical attempts, and we are still waiting for him to put some of those talents to work on that eyesore of a truck - porcelain hubcaps perhaps, or maybe just a paint job. O.B. ' s many hobbies which include radio control airplanes and gliders, scuba diving, electronics, Beierle ' s sister, and fartin ' and tap dancin ' took up alot of his time. Unfortunately, his many hours of plane and glider building often ended up nose down on the runway due to a thumb glich . After USG O.B. will owe the airforce several years of his lite in return tor their generosity. When we all meet again we may see quite a change in Pat, or at least we may hear a yes sir or no sir instead of cuz or posta . Than again, Oh well! Good luck and good flying Pat! Sure I ' m hot in operative, but Obie ' s Wire Service pays the bills. ' Boy, is this stuff bad. i ' S ' f mi %

Cerritos College A.A., U.S. International University B.A., Universidad I Autbnoma de Guadalajara, School of Dentistry. The boys in Guadalajara, 1973 I believe the picture on this page is the real Rader, Rager, RODGER Lauf, Laug, Laugh, LOUGH . . . anyway Tuff Luff, and vje ' re glad that he could make it here for this appearance. Sugar ' s looks are surpassed only by his omniprescence, promptness, and attention to detail. His neatness is of such a calibre that I am told even his room at home would pass a General Patton ' s inspection at a moments notice. Two great advantages Rodger had in getting through these four years are his need for very little sleep and his disdain for T.V. Rodger dodger ' s appeal and persuasiveness allows him the ability to sell a load of yesterday ' s newspapers to Hearst himself. Whoever eventually becomes fvlrs. Lough is lucky-she will always know his whereabouts-because he won ' t be behind the newspapers, but in it! What, my agency called? I ' I ' m back because the snow melted.

Here, at my Huntington Beach location, you can see our advanced sterilization center. What, some guys from the F.D.A. want to talk to me again! Phil is one of those few individuals born with the wrong name. Had his mother realized what we now know to be his true disposition, he wouldn ' t have had to wait until the freshman year of dental school to earn the name Bumpy . The Bump earned his reputation early by short-cutting his way through every class, exam and pre-clinical project while proclaiming, You ' ve got to know this stuff, you ' ve got to know this stuff. The spector of Templeton, Soule et. al. had its effect on the Bump, but he quickly retaliated, much to the dismay of Dexter Smith. We wondered why Bumpy didn ' t attend oral surgery block frequently, not remembering that he had gotten valuable experience extracting third molars from his lab partner ' s ortho models with a melite bur (and miraculously gaining seven millimeters on the back of the models). Petty tricks, like telling his lab partner to inject only a half-millimeter into his mucosa, were beneath him; the Bump went for the more exotic maneuvers, one of which Dr. Reitz is still trying to forget. In all, Phil made his presence well known, and long after we all leave, he ' ll still be known as the Bump .
