Dear Friends!

It’s hard for me to believe that we will be entering our 15th year of Excellence in Continuing Dental Education. It is so interesting to think back through the years and all the tremendous speakers who we have seen together and how they have impacted our practices along with our opportunity to integrate our skills through our treatment planning sessions. How far we all have come since the very first time that Frank Spear lectured to us! As Bob Marolt has said, “In those early days it looked as if his skills were so far above us that perhaps we wouldn’t ever get there. Now it is routine for us to treat cases the same way that he does!”

This group has been a success because of you! What started out as a fledgling gathering of clinicians has become something very different. I see our group now as a gathering of friends who pursue the profession that I love and are united in better serving our community every day! Congratulations to you all, and let’s enjoy the upcoming year together!

Sincerely,

Marshall L. Wade, D.D.S.
