In the 1920s, the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry began attracting individuals who would later go on to achieve various teaching and research accomplishments in their fields, and would later lead their students and their colleagues to even greater attainments. One of dentistry's great achievers, whom for 70 years the College was privileged to call its own, was Dr. Earl Wiley Renfroe. Dr. Renfroe made history in several areas - aeronautics and the military among them. But his most profound work was accomplished while at the College of Dentistry. This book examines the life and achievements of Dr. Renfroe and their effect on people throughout the world.

Product Description 
Chicago Cubs fans always will remember the beloved 1969 team. Yet the 1970 Cubs are, in many ways, more interesting. The Cubs added fascinating characters like Joe Pepitone and Milt Pappas to the legendary nucleus of Billy Williams, Ron Santo and Ernie Banks. The team came closer than in any year between 1945 and 1984--finishing only five games out of first place in one of baseball's hottest pennant races. Offering a fast-paced look at the season month by month, William S. Bike moves beyond wins, losses and statistics to relive Ernie Banks's 500th home run, the addition of "the basket" to the outfield walls and other iconic moments from a landmark year at Wrigley Field.\nAbout the Author
