We hope you are enjoying the fresh look to the magazine, and I hope you will join me in complimenting her. As always, there's a whole lot of experimenting going on in page design, changing this and that, and changing this and that again.
I bought the cap during a tour of the American Dental Hygienists' Association's headquarters a few years back. Over the years, I've stuck a few pins into the crown there. I can't really explain most of them. I still like baseball, but the work stoppage in 1995 permanently switched me from an avid diehard fan into a very infrequent spectator. So I probably got the pin at a youth amateur game I attended.
I am supportive of the United Way, but not a spokesman in any way-just donate here and there. I am a native Texan, but, uh, I have lived in Oklahoma for 20 years. I like roses when somebody else plants them.
However, the other two represent fond memories of RDH Under One Roof. The "sheriff's badge" was worn during a skit organized by various UOR attendees. I was the "bailiff." I don't know how popular the skit was, but I enjoyed being the muscle man in Judge Deborah Krueger's court.
Then there is the pin distributed at the 2007 RDH Under One Roof, which was hosted in a hotel just down the street from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The conference returns to Washington this summer-but on the opposite side of the city. UOR is scheduled for July 28-30 at the National Harbor in Maryland. Please take a moment to read Debbie Sabatini's memories about the conference on page 12. The conference leaves everyone who has attended with many pleasant memories.
