The lecture celebrated its 35th anniversary, which should be commemorated. However, the results were disappointing.' Just because a symposium is given by an 'oral design member' does not mean that the lecture is a success just because it is hosted by one of our members. The host was Tony, then a member of ORAL DESIGN, a man with little passion for dentistry. He did not do much preparation for this symposium, nor was he willing to do so. Also, no one held out their hand to him because he was not well-liked. Eventually, a team not related to Tony managed the symposium, but by then it was too late. I don't know why he ran as an organiser for this important and memorable symposium. He only did it for the live band for the last party. He was one of the really stupid members. Tony left our group without taking responsibility for his actions.
