SUPREME EDITOR’S MESSAGE
Goodbye to Carl L. Sebelius, Supreme Editor and “Gentleman of Dentistry”
ANNE-LISE FINK, DDS Supreme Editor
I
t is with sadness in my heart that I dedicated this issue of the Quarterly to our Supreme Editor and very dear member Carl L. Sebelius, Jr., D.D.S. To
borrow a quote from Jack Nelson, DDS, the Chi Chapter faculty advisor for UMKC School of Dentistry, Carl was a true “gentleman of dentistry. He was quiet and thoughtful, but when he spoke, everyone listened.” Tere is a huge empty space where Carl sat at the Board of Director’s meeting this year in Chicago. His con- tribution to the Xi Psi Phi Fraternity was significant, moving through several offices and serving as Supreme Chapter President from 1992–1994, and finally as Supreme Editor from 2006 til now. He attended almost every meeting and was always seen with camera in hand taking photos of the Zips at all occasions. His 10 years as the Supreme editor helped us attain new levels as we moved toward color issues and entered into the digital world. It was the work of Carl that allowed the Quarterly to receive the Silver Scroll Award from the International College of Dentists for the most improve- ment in 2015. I have BIG shoes to fill having been elected the new
Supreme Editor and will do my best to keep up the qual- ity of the Quarterly. I am thankful to have the help of Lawrence Chu, Iota ’75, to take the photos, as I am only adequate in taking iphone photos.
At the Supreme Board
meeting it was decided in the interest of reducing cost, to reduce the number of print issues sent to the active chapters. It seems our students are much more interested in perusing a digital copy, which can be found on the website. In order to help defer the cost of this publication, we hope our members will sponsor the Quarterly by submit- ting your business card and promoting your practice for a mere $150 per issue. You will be published in the next issue. Also if you have any contacts with dental vendors who wish to advertise in our publication, please have them contact us. As a reminder to all who submit articles to the Quar-
Anne-Lise Fink, DDS
terly, we need it in Word document format and pictures must be submitted separately with captions under the photos. Please feel free to send any and all articles that may be pertinent to the Zip fraternity. Please send to my e-mail
