Reunion
The reunion was a huge success. We had over 300 attend and everyone had a great time. The next one is October 22nd, 2005 -Reserve this date!

Visit "Reunion on the Web"- a meeting place for the "osteopathic Family"- www.ohmreunion.com for articles and pictures. Steve Ramer from the lab has created this website and we appreciate his efforts.

Golden Club Name
Many of the newer members have mentioned that they would like to have the name of the Golden Club changed. We have talked about it before and maybe it is time to become serious in thinking about a new name. Many years ago the name of OHM Alumni was suggested by Dr. Tibbetts. Does anyone have suggestions? Think about it and bring suggestions to the next meeting or get in touch with your officers for suggestions.

Gem Of The Day
It isn't the burdens of today that drive us MAD
It is the Regrets over Yesterday and the Fear of Tomorrow
Regret and Fear are Twin Thieves,
Who will rob us Today?
