March Madness
Dr. Tristram Kruger will be our featured speaker on April 1, 2008 (April Fool’s
Day). Dr. Kruger will give a lecture entitled “March Madness: How to Eat Good
Junk-Food During the Basketball Playoffs”. Dr. Kruger’s most recent publication is
entitled “Bowties: How to Tie One On”. He is currently working on a paper about
the dangers of potholes while jogging in the Dominican Republic.
(Be sure to ask him about it.) The location of the lecture is TBA. (Editor’s note—
This is a joke. This is only a joke. If this had been an actual lecture, you would
have been advised where to attend. DO NOT CALL the SMDS to find out more
about this lecture. It was only a joke.)

In real life, Dr. Kruger maintains private practices in both PG County and
Montgomery County. He has donated much of his time to public health fairs in our
communities as well as travelling to the Dominican Republic to provide care to the
underserved. In addition, he has helped with the Montgomery County Volunteer
Dental Clinic and other healthcare coalitions in our counties. Tris has worked with
the SMDS Executive Committee for many years now, and he has always stepped up
to help our society and to do what is best for our
community. Thanks for all that you have done Tris.
