Summary: This ceremony was Friday night and in a similar style to many of the prior years. One big change is that we did not schedule a Saturday set of meetings to allow families to meet and golf to be played.
The evening was commenced by Dr. Nussbaum's words to the seniors. He focused on the issues of happiness and contentment. As part of these dual characteristics he encouraged the alumni to be able to know when and how to say, "enough is enough" alongside a balance of easy and difficult things.
After he concluded his talks Dr. McGregor Lott as the President of the Alumni Association, came to the podium and awarded the best resident presentation awards. Dr. Zafar took third place; Dr. Henderson second and Dr. Sethi first. After this Dr. Lott announced the first Alumnus of the Year award and gave this to Dr. Jack Chapman (Class of 1992). Dr. Chapman said a few words.
Then Dr. Nussbaum gave the "NAG" (Nussbaum & Goei; given its name last year by their son Noah) Award for the highest score on the 2014 OKAP test. It was given to Dr. Scotty Gadlin. Congrats and Excellent work Scotty!
Then came the residents show stealing. Dr. Zafar asked for 2-5 minutes of time and then took nearly 20. It was a great time as he roasted the seniors and brought up a number of meaningful events the 9 of these residents have had in the last years. The seniors then gave their thanks and roasts. Some of the shots taken were really quite memorable, e.g. the concept that if Dr. Randazzo & Dr. Zafar were to have a child together it would look like the child the Moe's Southwest Grill used to put on their billboard advertising their chicken was not on steroids. The residents have often debated whose idea this was with many taking credit. Dr. Randazzo, who was 16 days before the delivery of her child, fired back at Dr. Zafar saying that the child she carried could not be his for the child already weighed 6 lbs and 8 ounces.
The seniors gave the inaugural Birnbaum "Teacher of the Year" award to Dr. Thomas.
This year we only had our meeting on Friday. The 9 residents gave their talks and scattered among this was the four talks. Dr. Jim Crandall (Class of 2004) gave the 13th David S. Hull Lecture and Dr. Tim Root (Class of 2009) the 2nd Fleetwood Maddox Lecture. Tim clearly was best in show as usual. Dr. Chip Oester (Class of 2008 with Dr. Espinosa) and Dr. Mammen (Class of 2011) rounded out the presentations. The scientific program was excellent and was well attending with many more alumni that in the recent many years.
