PDA 150TH ANNIVERSARY Dr. Bill Glecos, PDA President 2000-2001 You have to look at the relationships and getting to know people from all over the state, getting to realize that we all have different issues to deal with, but we’re all dentists and we’re all working together. These people turn out to be your friends and people you can talk to from then on. The one thing I like the most [about PDA] is being involved in organized dentistry, I knew what was going on, I had the information, and I wanted to know that. I didn’t want to find out after the fact and if I had a chance to have an effect on that I wanted to do that. So those two things – the relationships and the knowledge are a huge part of the PDA. 68 MA R CH/A P R I L 2018 | P EN N S YLVA N IA D EN TA L J O UR N A L
