care delivery to children in the rural poverty areas of Vermont. He traveled to remote countryside homes with a foot-powered drill, as there was little electricity available. He also established the first dental clinic at the Brattleboro Retreat, an institution for the mentally disturbed. In 1944 Dr. Livingstone returned to school at the University of Southern California, where he received his formal training in orthodontics. He then married Harriet Brown of Chicago and established his practice of orthodontics in Milton, Massachusetts. He subsequently became an instructor of orthodontics at Tufts University and frequently presented clinics at orthodontic meetings. Students and professionals often visited his home to see the clinical material he had assembled. He was honored by the American Association of Orthodontists for a half-century of service to his profession. At the age of 70 he retired from active practice and turned his summer home in Whitefield, New Hampshire, into his year-round residence. His broad interests and talents, as well as his wide achievements and service to others, made his life remarkable. C. F. Post, D.M.D.

Marquis Walsh died on Oct. 4, 1980, at the age of 57. Dr. Walsh received his dental education at Northwestern University, graduating in 1945. Upon graduation, he served as a naval dental officer at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and after his discharge he opened a general practice in Burlington, Vermont. Because his first child was born with a congenital hip problem, he sought medical assistance in his wife’s home area of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1952. He subsequently opened his specialty practice in Rutland, Vermont. For many years, he served as a member of the Vermont Cleft Palate Team that cared for patients in the southern half of Vermont. He was a member of the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists at all levels. Dr. Walsh was a humanitarian who served people unselfishly, regardless of their ability to pay. He was loved by his patients, and he developed many lasting relationships with them. He was a devout family man, and he will be sadly missed by his wife, Margaret, his two daughters, Nan and Patricia, and his two sons, Patrick and Marquis. Richard R. Reid
