Among the new fellows were three past-presidents of the Illinois State Dental Society (ADA Constituent), three past-presidents of the Illinois Academy of General Dentistry (AGD Constituent), Vice-Regents of the International College of Dentists (ICD) and the Academy of Dentistry International (ADI), two office holders of the Illinois Academy of General Dentistry, and all accomplished humanitarians and leaders in the profession. And, in what is likely the 'youngest-new-fellow-at-heart' inductee in the history of the Academy, 92 year old Sy Wachtenheim, 2010 AGD Distinguished Service Awardee, was welcomed into the Illinois Section.
The event was held at Maggiano's Little Italy just off Chicago's 'Magnificent Mile'. A lively reception accompanied the ceremony where the new fellows joined existing members in food, drink and camaraderie.
