He lobbied Olympia and experienced the court system to become chairman of the legal and legislative committee of the American Dental Association’s Association of the American Academy of Denturitry. He has been fighting with the National Dental Association for the right to offer specific denturist services to the public for almost 40 years.

I don’t know everything, but I try. As my grandmother used to tell me: As lazy as I was… I would starve to death if I didn’t get an education. — Dr. Miller
