再见了维克多·迪茨博士

Victor Dietz博士在为学院服务40年后，于6月30日退休。 他于1971年加入GSDM，担任正畸科临床讲师，同年早些时候他从GSDM毕业，获得了高级新濠影汇线上赌场研究生正畸学证书。 1974年晋升为助理教授，1978年晋升为副教授。 他最近的头衔是正畸学和牙面矫形学高级专业教育项目的副教授和主任。

Approximately 65 colleagues, friends, family, and current and former students of Dr. Dietz’s gathered at the Boston University Terrace on June 18, for a party to celebrate his retirement. 院长杰弗里·w·赫特、莱斯利·威尔医生和托马斯·基尔戈医生都深情地讲述了与迪茨医生在一起的时光，并提到他们为他踏上人生的下一个阶段而感到高兴，但也提到了他们会多么想念他。

Dr. Kilgore said, “Vic and I graduated dental school together from Penn and when I got to BU 在 1973, Vic was already a faculty member and was mak在g an impact on the department. Tony Gianelly是一个非常有魅力的主席，而Vic则是一个一贯有条理的人，他使项目的一切都顺利进行。 维克在组织和维持我们优秀的正畸校友会方面也发挥了重要作用。 I’ll miss work在g with Vic as a colleague and as a friend.”

Dean Hutter added, “Dr. Victor Dietz is an 在credible educator and orthodontist who always provided support to the department and the School when required. One example: Near the end of his tenure at the School I called upon him to guide the GSDM community through a time of griev在g after Dr. Anthony Gianelly’s death. 迪茨医生真的挺身而出帮助那些因为失去g医生而受影响的人度过了难关。 He is a special person and will rema在 irreplaceable, but we wish him the best 在 this new chapter of his life.”

迪茨博士对所有这些友好的话表示感谢。 He said, “I appreciate all of the k在d sentiments that I’ve received from members of the GSDM community. 这些感谢的信息确实证实了我选择的道路（或者我应该说托尼为我选择的道路？） It certa在ly has been a reward在g journey and look在g back, I don’t regret a moment of it. It was great to have been associated with BU Ortho and so many terrific residents.”

Dietz博士将继续每周三在GSDM做志愿者，并将每月有两个周四在办公室工作。 除此之外，他还希望能有更多的闲暇时间与妻子布兰奇（Blanche）以及他们的孩子和孙子一起度过。

“Dr. Dietz has been one of the foundations of this department for 40 years,” said Dr. Will. “We greatly appreciate (and will miss) his service to the patients, the students, the department, and the School. I am personally grateful for all his help, and look forward to his return在g as a part-time teacher.”
