April 23 is a very special day for my very good friend and colleague Dr. Francisco Banchs. Francisco is joining a large group of very special folks called AMERICANS; he is becoming an American citizen. We welcome him into our family.
Francisco already has all of the attributes of a natural born citizen in that he is hard working and strives for excellence. His sense of fairness and compassion means that he fits right in with the best of how we think.
The American Dream is to strive for personal success but only in so far as it make the nation better for all of us. One of the best dentists in the world joins the best nation in the world.
We wish Francisco all of the best as he becomes one of us. Our toast tomorrow will be: Health, Wealth and Happiness.
