Dr Mike, Tina, Kira, and Leah visited the Great Wolf Lodge and had a lot of fun at the waterpark. Kira and Leah loved their Kid Kamp room too.

Dr Jean and her assistant Alyssa enjoyed working with our newest dental assistant, 5-year-old Tylire Wynn, who helped with an excellent patient, Tylire’s brother Traimeir Flowers. Great job Tylire and Traimeir!

Leah shows how she does a walking handstand. Amazing!

Leah shows off her new hairdo that her brother Corey did. It was a double-process cut and color. It looks as good as a triple-process to me. Leah loves it although she is a little concerned that her school may require her to go back to her natural color. Great job Corey!

Dr Oz is a local boy (he went to Tower Hill School) who has made it big. He now has his own television show “The Dr Oz Show.” He sometimes talks about dental topics, including dental amalgam fillings and dental x rays. Much of what he says on dental topics, however, is either off the mark or downright false. You can see critiques of his comments here, here, and here.

Dr Mike and Corey enjoyed watching the Eagles defeat the Panthers in a Thursday night preseason game as a birthday/graduation gift for Corey.

I think Kira may be a future retailing mogul!

Kira is on the Level 3 Olympiad team, and she just mastered the round off back handspring. Way to go Kira!

My friend, patient, and former neighbor Tom White has authored a great book A Kid From North Wilmington, which I just finished. It is about Tom’s experiences growing up in Edgemoor the 1950s and 1960s. Tom has an incredible memory and reading his book brought back lots of memories from my own childhood.

Here’s Tom in front of Mount Pleasant School, which he attended when it was a junior high school. It is now the elementary school that my daughter Leah attends. Tom’s story is very interesting, including when his dad suddenly dropped dead at a viewing of all places when Tom was only 14, forcing his mother to get a full-time job to support the family. There are lots of stories of adventures he an his friends embarked on, and Tom paints vivid pictures of Wilmington’s commercial landscape during his childhood.
The book is available directly from Tom for $25 (which also covers S&H). His email is: TWhite515@aol.com
