Dear Holt: We have always had a dentist with us and have a hard time having a clinic without one. What a great need. They have to work hard physically and I notice that I takes a lot of energy and support on their part. The two dentists that have gone with us are James Douglas DDS, South Bend, Ind.. Phone work 574-289-5776 and home 574-299-0627. Email marmaksdad@aolk . He is a great guy and one of my closest friends. He has been there twice. The other dentist is the 1st one to go to Haiti with us and was there this year. He is Matthew Cripe DDS. He is from Dowagiac, Mich. and his work phone is 269-782-5511 and his email is mattdds@.... We had a great time with Matt and he adds so much to the trip that is hard to imagine a trip without him. They are both experienced and would be happy to help you.
Thanks Jim Wierman

Terrific! I would like to educate and motivate the dentists here for
the mission and would really appreciate guidance. Would it be ok for
the dentist who has gone to inform us as to the best ways to set up a
dental clinic and let us know the contents of the bag? Also, someone
said the dental equipment bag was locked when we saw it. Is that true
to your recollection?
I can be reached by email and my home phone is 817 927 7467. I will
gladly call anyone who will talk to me.
Thanks for all your help.
Holt
