I was born and raised in Maysville, Kentucky, living there until I left for college in 1957.
It was a picturesque, historic, town on the banks of the Ohio River and was a great place to have lived during the 40s and 50s.
I went to Eastern Kentucky State College (now Eastern Kentucky University) where I received a BS in Chemistry and Biology in 1961.
I then went on to the University of Louisville, School of Dentistry where I received a DMD degree in 1965 and met a beautiful Lexington, Kentucky girl that same year.
I did a dental residency at Florida State Hospital outside of Tallahassee in 1965 and 1966. I came to the Dayton area in 1966 and went into practice with Dr. John H. Boyles as an associate dentist. Also that year I married that beautiful gal I had met at U of L. I remained at Smithville Road in practice with Dr. Boyles until he retired in 1983. I moved my practice to Far Hills in 1989.
I sold my practice to Dr. Brenda Palmer in October 2000 and have remained on with her practicing two days a week. I have enjoyed my time off and continue to enjoy dentistry that has been a part of my life since receiving my degree in 1965.
My wife and I have been blessed with two wonderful kids and now have three equally wonderful grandchildren with another on the way.
We enjoy traveling frequently returning to Florida’s Panhandle and Scotland. My hobbies have been genealogy, photography, model railroading, and reading.
My main interests in reading have been local history (Kentucky and the Dayton area) and Bible studies. God has blessed me with so very much over my life in so many different ways and I cherish my personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Wendell: Saw the name McChord come up on a news report this morning and had a flashback to your face. I was in your class at Eastern. I googled it and there you were. Ironically we moved to Dayton in 1963 and lived right off Smithville Rd on Dean Place. Eventually winding up back here in n No KY close to , Bellevue where I went to HS, In Ft Thomas. I knew Dr. Angie Dalambakis, he had a practice close to where Wayne Ave intersected with Smithville Rd . Im guessing you were farther South toward Kettering. We occasionally Go to Maysville to eat at Capronis. Small world. Enjoy your travels and retirement.. Ronnie Braun.
