The Golden Anniversary Luncheon
AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION
OF ORTHODONTISTS
The Golden Anniversary Luncheon THE fifteenth annual Golden Anniversary Luncheon was held at the ChasePark Plaza Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 24,1967. The presiding officer was Leo B. Lundergan, vice-president of the American Association of Orthodontists, who expressed the great respect and admiration of the younger members of the Association for the Golden Anniversary Group. A suitably devout invocation was offered by Fred Fabric, current president of the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists. Charles R. Baker, our perennial chairman, expressed the Golden Anniversary Group’s sincere thanks and appreciation to all members of t,he A. A. 0. for this annual recognition and honor. Dr. Baker reported the induction of twenty-one young members to the Group, bringing the active membership to 100. In the 14 years since the Golden Anniversary Group was organized seventy-three members have died. The Group was organized in 1953 through the efforts and initiative of Ernest N. Bach. During the past year we have lost six members: Sydney W. Bradley, George B. Crozat, Leigh C. Fairbank, A. LeRoy Johnson, William E. Stoft, and W. Frank Wilson. There was a moment of silent prayer and respect for our departed members. The new (1967) members are as follows : Charles S. Adelstein Paul Grindlinger Spencer R. Atkinson Raymond L. Holt Ashley E. Howes Fred C. Bowden William Landsman George C. Brown John H. Byrne Augustave Neuber W. Marshall Ray Elwood B. Faxon Grover C. Turner G. Vernon Fisk Leon H. Wayman Walter J. Furie Frederick T. West Francis J. Furlong A. G. Wicks Robert L. Gray Richard Ziegler Five of these men-Charles S. Adelstein, John II. Byrne, G. Vernon Fisk, Ashley E. Howes, and Frederick T. West-were present at the honor table and received a hearty welcome of applause when Chairman Baker asked them to rise. Lantern slides made from graduat,ion (1917) photographs of the new mem688

bers were then shown. These are always an interesting feature of the annual luncheon meeting. The twenty-one “pioneers” at the honor table were warmly admired by the younger members in the audience, who commented on their youthful appearance, good crops of hair (with the exception of the chairman), and their apparent relaxation and evident lack of tension. In fact, many a younger orthodontist entertained the thought: “Wouldn’t I like to become a member of that group.” The speaker, Earl E. Shepard, a former president and former secretarytreasurer of the American Association of Orthodontists, presented a most interesting address entitled “This Process of Growth and Development.” This splendid, well-prepared paper dealt with the history of modern orthodontics, beginning about 1901, with particular information about the noted persons who were prominent in the beginning and continuing development of our great Association. Our audience was very pleased to hear this accurate and comprehensive story, and I feel certain that thousands of our readers will enjoy reading it in the JOURNAL. G. Hewett Williams.
