PDA 150TH ANNIVERSARY
Dr . Les Levin PDA President 1982-1983
Initially I became a member of the PDA for a variety of reasons . I was aware of the dental association as a result of information I heard while in dental school , plus what I gathered from an uncle who was an orthodontist in my home town of Baltimore . Out of curiosity I attended some local meetings and met some members , particularly Nick Gentile and John Lathrop , who I eventually became close to in my local society , the Dental Society of Chester County and Delaware County . I attended many meetings , again out of curiosity , and early on I was chosen to be editor of that society ’ s newsletter . I enjoyed gathering information for that publication and thereby was exposed to other similar sources of info .
