John's Story
After graduation, I spent 4 years at Indiana State in Terre Haute. I then attended dental school at Indiana University at Indianapolis, where another classmate from Harrison, David Burns was a year ahead of me, and Steve Graham (who went on to become an oral surgeon) was in my class. Following dental school, I moved to Chapel Hill, NC where I specialized in pediatric dentistry at the UNC dental school. I went into private practice in Raleigh, NC in 1981, where time to time people with ties from Harrison would come through. One of my patients was Coach Galloway's grandchild, and a guy from my neighborhood and one year behind me at Harrison, Rick Pfeiffer brought his child in.
I was forced to retire from practice in 2004 because of a neurologic...Expand for more
al problem in my left shoulder that affected my left hand, and since then have traveled the world providing limited dental treatment to children living in impossible situations.
My travels have taken me to Africa, Vietnam, Russia, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and most recently in the West Bank (Jericho, Bethlehem) of Israel.
I have a 24 year old daughter who recently married a West Point grad, and is living in Seattle while her husband is in Afghanistan, and a 19 year old daughter who just completed her first year at the U.of Maryland.
I currently divide my time living in Raleigh NC, and a home in the western NC mountains outside of Brevard (or 25 minutes southwest of Asheville.
