Majority rules

It didn’t take long for dentists elected to statewide offices in the Texas Dental Association to recognize a commonality: All six of them are alumni of Texas A&M College of Dentistry, known formerly as Baylor College of Dentistry. This includes, from left to right, Past president Dr. Jose “Joey” Cazares ’85; Secretary-treasurer Dr. Cody Graves ’03; President Dr. Bill Gerlach ’87; Speaker of the House Dr. John Baucum ’78; President-elect Dr. Charles Miller ’80; and Texas Dental Journal Editor Dr. Daniel Jones ’89, Regents Professor and department head of public health sciences at the dental school.
