Dear Dr. Keyes,

Thank you for your prompt response to my email. I'm so glad you are recommending Lynne Slim. I found her website shortly after emailing you. As a matter of fact, I just printed out an extremely informative article she wrote in 2005 entitled, "Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy Then and Now: Changes Since the Early 1980s." Right on the first page she states how you, in 1981, "revolutionized dental hygiene" and refers to you as "The Father of Anti-Infective Therapy." Dr. Keyes, I wish there was some way the countless thousands of people you have spared from dental surgery and tooth loss over the years could repay you. Saying "thank you" somehow just doesn't seem adequate.

Thank you for recommending Lynne. I will certainly call her to schedule an appointment. I can think of at least a dozen of my friends here in Atlanta who will do likewise. I still find it so unbelievable that there are no periodontists or dentists here in a booming metropolis like Atlanta who are not on board with you and practicing your method of dentistry. I pray that they soon come to their senses.

Thank you again, Dr. Keyes. I'm deeply honored that you want to post my message, and you certainly have my permission to do so. Please feel free to edit it wherever necessary.

Finally, I want to say that even though I'm just one person, I am "one passionate warrior" in the "Keyes Army," so if I am ever able to speak about what you have done in my life or come to your aid in any way, just say the word and I'll be there.

God bless you, General,

Gaye Tiffany
