IowaChair C. Frederick Fuller hosted their Fall Luncheon last October at the University Athletic Club in Iowa City. Trustee Steve Hedlund arranged for the speaker Hancher Auditorium Director Chuck Swanson. MassachusettsChair Norm Becker discussed the tremendous impact that the CHIP Program is having in the New England States. Sponsored by the Massachusetts Dental Society, the Masons, and many local police forces, local dentists, including the PFA Section volunteers, offer toothprint impressions as a part of a child identification program (CHIP). Not a week goes by that the media has not reported some story about the program. Dr. David Harte and his communications staff started with a PSA TV spot in the Spring of 2000. Since then, nearly weekly programs have been hosted around the State and have spread to other States. All the children in the Milton public schools, K–12 have been comprehensively ID’ed. Since its inception, the area Rotary Clubs, the dental assisting class from Massasoit Community College, area city and county police forces, the PTO, and the Attorney General’s Office have joined in assisting to execute the program. Dental volunteers came from the Massachusetts Dental Society, of which the dentists participating were PFA Fellows. PFA Chairman Norm Becker was there with ADA President Eugene Sekiguchi. This was all reported with pictures in the Milton Times last September including credit given to our PFA Chair as well as to the PFA Section by name in the newspaper.

Dr. Paul R. Dolin (Loyola University School of Dentistry ’48) recently visited Las Vegas to view our PFA Dental Museum there. Dr. Dolin had donated the coral-colored Webber Dental Unit, with the first contour dental chair, that is located at the entrance to the museum. It was one of the first completed dental units donated to the museum along with his student dental case and Loyola alumni memorabilia. Dr. Dolin is a retired Colonel having served for thirty years in the Army Air Force and later in the Army Reserve. Dr. Dolin had served with Colonel Richard Kozal (our Secretary General) at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Drs. Paul and Albert Dolin practiced general dentistry on the near north side of Chicago in the Uptown Bank building on Broadway. In 1984, Dr. Dolin retired from the military and received the Meritorious Service Medal at a ceremony during the Chicago MidWinter Meeting. He now resides in Plantation, Florida.

The University of the Pacific, the first chartered university in California, bestowed its highest honor on its Dean and PFA Fellow Arthur A. Dugoni by naming their School of Dentistry after him. No greater accolade can be said of this great man than to have the school he has devoted a half of a century to building the prestige of this institution renamed in his honor [op.cit. Dental World, July/August, 2004, p 4].

This was attended by more than 700 people and 500 students wearing new black t-shirts with the school’s new name on them. |
