Ya, my setup Is clean. iide from the typical feats of wonder and mutual torture 3 partners inflict on one another, Bruce was a good lighbor during the years of preclinical incarceration. ;ademically he excelled and I ' ll never cease to be sgusted by his organized notes and disciplined study ibits! His early attempts at manual dexterity netted the pical number of DO ' s, yet he persevered. ju could always depend of Bruce. His seminar attendance as always punctual, to the point of setting your watch, if )u wanted it to run 25 min. late! His chess a bility was conquerable, much to my continual frustration. And, later, 5 was always ready for pin ball. side from his role as Lab E ' s chess champion, perhaps his lain claim to fame was his position as dental school Tibalmer. Few persons enjoyed lunches more than Bruce I his 4th floor lab! And how many persons make a hobby I disecting steel hipjoints with band saws? This, indeed, as a remarkable way to supplement his hard working ife ' s income! (Come to think of it, I haven ' t seen her itely). 1 all sincerity, Bruce worked hard and performed well, fhile making my dental school experience more bearable (ith his positive attitude and friendship. His character is an sset to the profession, I know he ' ll succeed! No, I ' m not going with anybody on the Fourth Floor. 1

Brenner will never know the difference. ' If this is your sperm count, you are in trouble. Would you please speak up, I ' m looking for my hearing aid right now! Gene is the best friend one could have. He is friendly, loyj and trustworthy even it he is enchanted by Egyptian mummy ' s heads, ancient Tibetan paintings, six foot antique Japanese swords and starting his own oriental antique import business. None of his real interests suffered while h did his dental school stretch. Gene was once seen chasing Dr. Kim through the clinic with a 400 year old Samurai sword for an inscription translation. (But this was the day he cemented his anterior bridge). Gene is one of those rare dental students with such an even disposition that is seems nothing ever made him loos his calm friendly manner. But this was probably because h would never stay late to do lab work, never do anything over and his amiable manner made every instructor his friend. Dedicated to dentistry, he spent many evenings wit! the curriculum committee, family dentistry task force and study groups while the rest of us were out partying. The future for Gene includes buying a practice in Glendale owning an estate in England, commuting to San Francisco for social life and a very active career in dentistry. He is i colleague that makes us all proud to be part of the denta profession.

What ' s a start check? ' We in E lab knew Gary would do well at SC when we observed him polishining his manikin head just before operative finals. Gary applied himself very diligently in those preclinical years and acquitted himself quite admirably. At times I considered it my own special curse from above that my preps and projects had to be graded adjacent to his. There were some advantages to having a hot dog for a lab partner . . . once when my lamp bulb burned out during operative finals I found I could get by quite nicely in the glow reflected from the finish of his class V foil. Gary also found time to become a mean chess player, a pin ball protagonist and an active participant In that internecine series of struggles which came to be know (by the custodial staff at least) as the great E lab Rubber Band Wars. Four years have gone by quickly, it seems. As we leave SC I will set forth with unequivocally pleasant memories of a lengthy and uncompromisingly honest individual. Gee, I never dreamed Team would be this much fun. 178
