Dear Friend Family, I cleaned Mr Friend's teeth at LSU Dental School for many years. He was always a lovely and gracious patient even when I had to review his home care over again. Even as he was beginning to get ill he was a delightful patient. I have a special memory...his daughter was in town for a visit....in the Oscar Meyer Mobile. We all walked out of the school as the sun was setting...and they were laughing together. Sincerely, Madeleine Meissner
