Paul Feuerstein, DMD Begins 2010 by Accepting Prestigious Industry Award and Academic Appointment

Every once in a while I get a chance to write about a really great human being and this is one of those times. I've known Paul Feuerstein for at least 15 years. In that time he's been a great friend, a dedicated educator, a patient co-lecturer, and a crazy uncle to my family. I love him like the brother I never had. Paul was recently honored by his state of Massachusetts and I could not be more proud of him!

Always willing to design a new course for the Society, he has been instrumental in bringing others into the computer age, introducing them to such things as the internet, digital radiology, and other technologies.
