	Australasia Trustee William Winspear awarded Honorary Fellowship to Professor-emeritus Noel D. Martin AM at their recent PFA Awards Dinner in Sydney, Australia. Professor Martin is recognized throughout Australia as an authority in dental education, dental public and community health, and preventive dentistry. He joined the faculty of dentistry at the University of Sydney in 1944 as a lecturer. He was then appointed the inaugural Professor of Preventive Dentistry in 1961. In 1970, Professor Martin was elected the Dean of the Dental Faculty, a position he held until his retirement in 1988. Professor Martin has had a distinguished career with many exceptional achievements, his role in introducing fluoride into the Australian water supplies was his finest.
