Correspondence:

Contribution responses were noted. Other than several resignations from membership, nothing of note.

Journal Report:

Dr. Cochran presented his report, pointing out an increase in articles and total pages for 2000, compared to 1999. He commended Joan Matis for her work as subscription manager and bookkeeper. The web site is finally reaching completion. Costs continue to rise, but so does the quality of the Journal. Corporate sponsorship has allowed for the increase in size. The Journal continues to be ranked highly among scientific publications. The team of workers that allow the Journal to function was recognized and praised.

Dr. Carlson indicated that subscriptions were up, along with costs of production. He indi­cated that an increase in subscription rates by $10 each would be in effect for 2002. Loans by the two Academies are carried as a liability, and he urged consideration to change the item to an outright grant. The Academy of Operative Dentistry has made this change at their meeting today. Subscription rates for student awardees will be at $35 (student rate) vs. $60 or $70 regular rates. It was suggested that Dr. Carlson compose a note for the Gold Leafin regard to donating the extra subscription amount.

A vote of thanks was offered to Drs. Cochran and Carlson.

Plans for 2001 meeting:

Oct. I 0-13 - Indianapolis, IN. Dr. Keene has things in order with several speakers on various subjects, including member Gordon Christensen. Dr. Johnson is planning two clini­cal sessions to allow for casting procedures. Again, it was suggested that a "Mentor" type situation be held to allow the uninitiated to do some operations. The hotel will be the new Indianapolis Marriott. There will be several interesting social functions for the group.

Future meetings:

2002 - Halifax, N.S., September 25-29. Hotel not yet secured.

2003 - UCLA. No dates yet.

2004 - Charleston, SC and Lincoln, NB were proposed as possibilities.

THE 14TH ANNUAL GERALD D. STIBBS GOLD FOIL SEMINAR

The 14th Annual Gerald D. Stibbs Gold Foil Seminar was presented August 14- 18, 2000 at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Richard D. Tucker and Dr. David Thorburn pre­sented the course attended by Dr. Michael Altergott (USA), Dr. Mark Cruz (USA), Dr. Jim Deckman (USA), Dr. Kimberley Dugdale (Canada), Dr. Jurgen Engel (Germany), Dr. Thomas Helm (Germany), Dr. Wynn Matsumara (USA), Dr. Matt Panar (Canada) and Dr. Huschang Saidi (Germany). Dr. Panar again helped with some of the behind the scenes organization.

A group of that size ensured that we had a lively week. There were many excellent cases and a few very unusual vari­ations that presented some unique challenges and learning opportunities. The assistants were very enthusiastic and worked a long week with short lunches.

In total the class placed 76 restorations. Broken down by classification: 26 CL I's, 6 CL II's, 2 CL III's, 40 CL V's, and 2 CL Vi's.

The day didn't end at 5 PM, almost everyone went out for dinner every night. One night we went up to the top of Grouse mountain for dinner with a view, and a few operators who still had energy hiked up the 3000 vertical feet to enhance their appetites . The week finished up with a wonderful dinner on

Friday night attended by all the assistants, operators and a few spouses. They traded stories and laughs long into the night. It was all memories much too quickly.

'--------INDY ... THE SEQUEL

TO YOUR HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE American Academy of Gold Foil Operators

ANNUAL MEETING OCTOBER 10-13, 2001 Headquarters Hotel

Indianapolis Marriott - Indianapolis, IN

Welcome to the Crossroads of America. If you enjoyed last year's meeting in Hawaii, wait until you taste the pleasures that Indianapolis has to offer. This is a friendly place with reasonable prices, a great Dental School, and everything conveniently located from the hotel.

Spouses will be taking a tour to beautiful Brown County at the height of the fall color season. This is a separate event that needs to be registered for.

We will be having a tour and lunch on Saturday which will include a visit to all the sports venues of the city, including a tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and Track. This is the home of the Indy 500 Race where all the racing greats have competed for many years, as well as the Nascar 400 and Formula One races.

We are going to be nested at the brand new Indianapolis Marriott which just opened this year. It is within walking distance of all the sights, sounds and great food opportunities of downtown, not to men­tion shopping sites for the ladies.

This promises to be a super meeting, as Bob Keene has put together a great essay program, and Warren Johnson has been coordi­nating the clinical session with the dental school folks . AAGFO mem­ber Gordon Christensen has kindly agreed to do an afternoon program for expenses and we are really indebted to him for that.

At our banquet, Mel Lund will be receiving the Distinguished Member Award, and Dr. Jack Miller, "The Racing Dentist", an IU graduate, and current Indy car driver, will be giving a presentation on his experiences on and off the track.

Note: If you fly into Indianapolis, be sure you are delivered to the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown Hotel, and not one of the other Marriott properties. Please try to get your reservations for the meeting and the hotel before September 10.

HOST SCHOOL Indiana is one of the great schools of dentistry.

Accordingly, I asked Dr. Lund to write a brief introduction for the Academy. - Ed.

I have been requested to draft a short epistle, which focuses on the School of Dentistry at Indiana University. And since some of you will be visiting us at the next meeting of the American Academy of Gold Foil Operative it does seem appropriate.

I visited with Sue Crum, our resident editor, so I have her to thank for some of this information.

IUSD is one of our nations oldest dental schools and it started as Indiana Dental College in 1879 and became part of Indiana University in 1925. The original segment of our current building was erected in 1933. Two other significant additions have been made, one in 1963 and the last one in the early 70's.

Associated with the dental school is the Oral Health Research Institute, which is a separated building with its beginning in the l 950 's. Under guidance of Joseph Muller it became identified as the "House that Crest Built". For here the decay-preventive Crest toothpaste was developed which has had a monumental track record since that beginning. Dr. Domenick Zero currently directs this active institute.

Near 620 students are pursuing various dental programs at IUSD. To provide instruction for these students there are 135 full-time and 120 part-time faculty members who do the teaching and pursue the research programs.

IUSD has a very active and formal friendship relationship with dental schools in other countries. In fact we have contracts involving schools in 12 countries. This is but a reflection of our worldwide interest. The one resposible for directing our total effort as dean is Larry Goldblatt.

Many well-known dental personalities, who have had dramatic impact on both teaching and research in the dental pro­fession, have had their residence at IUSD. We in our Academy had a special affinity for the Department of Dental Materials. This department achieved a commanding stature under the guid­ance of Ralph Phillips and his long term associates Marjorie Swartz and Richard Norman.

The operative discipline carries a long tradition of excellence in clinical performance. There were many who were effective in helping produce this success. Drex Boyd led this -department for many years and was active in early cliriical application of resin. Fred Hohlt was another guardian of things important to Operative and to help assure that all students were capable using all available options. From 1971-1988 I served as chair of Operative Dentistry and Mike Cochran followed until 1993. Currently Ed DeSchepper is our fearless leader.

During the 1960' s Bill Gilmore initiated the current section of graduate operative dentistry. This allows for operative educators to be able to teach from a similar level of authority as is common to other dental disciplines. In a related manner the University of Michigan had a graduate program of Operative Dentistry under­way by 1950.

From its inception this graduate progam has been very successful in that it has provided training to many students, which includes a good representation from the armed forces and foreign countries. These people have in tum been influential in advancing the interests of Operative Dentistry in their home or organizational environment. Those who have been effective in carrying this Operative flag in this program includes Drs. Mike Cochran, Ed DeSchepper, Ron Harris, Tim Carlson and Bruce Matis. I also will admit that it has been my good fortune to be associated with these people over past years as we pursued common objectives.

I would like to mention that in this setting the use of direct gold is flourishing but that would not be true. Not that long ago direct gold was very prominent among the operative options but the current curriculum does not feature this use of direct gold but rather it is now an exposure to the material. In spite of this the old standard of excellence must apply when it is used.

As with all dental schools we find ourselves being heavily influenced by what is termed cosmetic dentistry. We intend fully to consider the value of esthetics regarding our patients but at the same time to keep the virtue of dental function in clear view.

Dr. Melvin Lund
