Does Dustin Hoffman's "acquaintance" in Marathon Man count?

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

Kraenzlein and Tewksbury were roomates at the Penn Dental School. While the long jumper/hurdler went on to semi-prestigious coaching jobs, Mr. Tewksbury the perennial second fiddle went back to NE Pennsylvania and actually practiced as a dentist.

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

Sorry Steve although Fred Hansen is a dentist and a former world record holder he is not in the Hall of Fame. Here are at least five who are in the Hall of Fame.

Alvin Kraenzlein
Walter Tewlsbury
Greg Bell
Dallas Long
Bud Houser

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

perhaps off the subject but I would like someone to tell me how Charley Jenkins can be in the HOF and Fred Hansen is not... just an example.

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

Somebody (anybody) has to nominate him before he gets in. And that requires more than a brief letter. It requires documenting his career.

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

I know David Sime is a doctor of some sort, not sure if he practices dentistry?

Re: T&F Hall of Fame Dentists

According to the T&F Hall of Fame Dave Sime is an opthalmologist in FL.
