Forty Years

Forty years ago this month, I spent the most important Saturday of my life in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  It was there, in First United Methodist Church, where my wife, Lynn and I were married.  When we moved to Warren County in August of 1983, Lynn was pregnant with our son, Ryan.  That first year-and-a-half of my practice Lynn worked as my chairside dental assistant, my business partner, my wife, and Ryan's mom.  Those were busy and joyous days.

I want to thank you, the people of Mason, Landen, West Chester, Loveland, Lebanon, Cincinnati, and around.  You have entrusted your dental health and wellbeing to me and my dental team.  A number of you were there in those first months nearly 37 years ago when Lynn, Ryan and I were opening our truly family dental practice. Your collective faithfulness has empowered my professional dream, and enabled me to serve our community and others.

But even more I want to thank my bride of 40 beautiful years.  I got a girl from Kalamazoo, and without her I'd be lost.  So thank you Lynnie for your love and our life.  You, my Dear, are simply the best!
