OTHER RANDOM PICTURES FROM THE GROUP

	Jim Carpenter, Jed Kuhn, and Richard Hughes (l to r) in old Orthopaedic Research Laboratory conference room sometime in 1999. Note drawing on blackboard. It is the beginning of the glenoid inclination concept.
	Tom Withrow and Laurie Huston. Tom and Laurie were never technically part of our research group, although we shared space, laughs, and pizza during our days at MedSport. We wish them the very best as husband and wife.
	Kinematics can be confusing. The clavicle fracture modeling project (summer 2007) required nine coordinate systems. That is where tinker toys come in handy.

Note: Please do not read anything into the order in which people are listed or the size of the photos. This list is also not complete. I started this page after many students had already passed through the group. The organization is approximately chronological. The picture on the left is a head shot of some sort; the right illustrates something about the person. If you are a former student and want to be included on this page, please send me a digital picture of yourself.
