Ruthy turns the other cheek for camel kisses near the pyramids of Egypt, while Dr. Goodacre enjoys the view from the camel's back.

In December 1999, Charles Goodacre, SD'71, MSD, dean of the School of Dentistry, had the opportunity to lecture to a group of Arabian dentists in Dubai. He and his wife Ruthy Goodacre, RN, enjoyed visiting with the people, shopping, and charming the camels.

They were able to visit Dr. Toufic Jeroudi (formerly director of the graduate orthodontic program at LLUSD) and his family in Abu Dhabi, and then stayed a few days in Cairo, Egypt. The pyramids, Cairo Museum, Sinai Peninsula and Red Sea are truly wonders of the world, according to Mrs. Goodacre. Dr. Goodacre lectured at Cairo University and visited several of his former prosthodontic graduate students from Indiana University who now practice in Cairo.
