He studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan prior to WWII. During the war he served in aircraft maintenance. Postwar he returned to U.M. for his Masters and Doctorate. An assumed future with Boeing was derailed by temporary job with University of Oregon Dental School, which steered him into the field of Dental Biomaterials. He built his department from scratch and became an internationally honored expert on dental amalgam. He discusses relations with University and School of Dentistry administrations; shares much technical information; and laments that fluoridation became such a political football. 000003265 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000003265 542__ $$fIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted 000003265 610__ $$aUniversity of Michigan$$010853 000003265 650__ $$aSchools, Dental$$025773 000003265 650__ $$aBiocompatible Materials$$015550 000003265 650__ $$aDental Amalgam$$017476 000003265 650__ $$aDental Research$$031153 000003265 691__ $$aOregon Health & Science University.
