Date: June 4th and 5th, 2004. Commencement was held together with the 28th Annual Resident-Alumni Meeting at the Radisson Riverfront Conference Center in downtown Augusta. We combined these two meetings for the first time which providing a time of collegiality for these three doctors as the move from being residents to alumni, from training to practice. Commencement & Roast. Drs. Goei, Gokhale, and Nussbaum spoke at different times in the Friday afternoon session. Dr. Nussbaum gave a brief address during the evening banquet thanking and encouraging the residents as they step into the next phase of their lives. Following his own tradition Dr. Gokhale made predictions of where each of the residents and in some cases faculty will be in the year 2030. In the world of Gokhalian Predictions fiction is probably stranger than truth! Finally, in an amazing break from with his style of a slide presentation accompanied by dicta-phone delivered music the music finally was able to come out of the PowerPoint presentation! A better sound, yes, but the good old days of the dicta-phone sure were memorable. No great abuses were showered upon the faculty when the residents had their turn to make parting comments. They did, however, specifically thank Dr. Sumner Fishbein for his many years of Friday morning glaucoma clinics. He also has been to nearly all of the departmental education events, e.g. Journal club, Graduation and Alumni Day meetings. He is retiring from many years of faithful service to the VA and our residents. We have enjoyed having this crew of residents and wish them well as they enter the next phase of their lives. Dr. Crandall is doing a glaucoma fellowship at Emory University. Private practice in Virginia Beach awaits Dr. Gant and Washington State for Dr. Samy. Thank you guys again for your hard work and participation in our department.
