his dental alma mater to establish a graduate program

by the generous contributions of some wonderful benefactors
and the outstanding leadership of the Dental School
. Dr. Kulild says, “It’s great to be back.” He and his
wife, Jan, have three daughters: Ana (a dentist),
Emily (a dental hygienist), and Jamie.
Paul A. Jones (D.D.S. ’74)

1999, they took a year off and sailed their 45 ft. sailboat
about 6,000 miles from Florida to Trinidad and back
with their older daughter and her fiance. They visited
over 60 different islands. A highlight of the trip was
when their younger daughter joined them to attend a
free Jimmy Buffett concert on the quay in St. Barts,
as well as spending Christmas and the Millennium New
Year’s there.

Gallery Competition, May 11, in Madison, Wis. The award
was given for exhibiting outstanding skill in cosmetic
dental procedures, Special Effects Category. He
was honored to speak at the meeting this year. He loves
working with his patients and changing lives, one smile
at a time! He is the son of retired physician
Dr. David Elias. "I remember the days of my father
caring for people, making house calls, being a part
of people's families. It is sad to see how medical and
dental technology has soared, but how patient care has
gone downhill. I feel blessed being a dentist and getting
to help people with their health and their dreams."
