The American Board meeting
of
Orthodontics
THE American Board of Orthodontics held its annual 7 day meeting Sunday, Nay 2, through Saturday, May 8, 1965, for the purpose of conducting routine business and examining candidates aspiring to certification. The unanimous choice for the new director to be elected to the Board was Eugene E. West of San Francisco, California. Dr. West replaces Paul V. Reid, whose 7 year term of office expired at the time of the Dallas meeting and who had served as president of the Board during his final year of service and as vice-president the year before. Dr. West succeeds Alton W. Moore as secretary of the Board. In the final session the Board adopted by acclamation the following tribute: We presume that to be in keeping with the austere dignity of the A.B.O., and following the rigid protocol of the A.A.O., these farewell remarks should be made in accordance with Robert’s R&es of Order and should be addressed to you as our retiring President Paul V. Reid. However, since the following thoughts come from the hearts of the six men who

have had the privilege of serving with you for various terms on the Board, I\ (* shall r~menll)~~r you as Paul and not as President Kcid. \Ve shall never forget you, Paul, for many, many reasons. First. of all, your prwirc cogent remarks to candidates, into which there vws always interjected just enough humor to put them at ease but at the same time assuring them that the examination wvits under no circumstances to be taken lightly. Your conduct as presiding ofhcrr of the Board was executed in a manner that was helpful not only to the candidates but also to the directors. Under your guidance and prudent administration, all Hoard matters were conducted smoothly and efficiently. The above accolades would probably suffice for most retiring presidents, but in your case we feel there should be something more. SufEce it to say that as a raconteur you will never be surpassed. The magnificent adventures of one John Henry MeDiddle will remain forever in the memory of those who had the privilege of serving with you on the American Board of Orthodontics. We close now not on a note of levity or of sadness but, rather, with a poignant feeling of au revoir and a sincere wish that you will remember us as we remember you.
