Many, many years ago while practicing dentistry with long-time friend Dr. John Turner (deceased), Lenny also served as Secretary/Treasurer and then President of the Alabama Dental Association and received many accolades and awards from the Dental Association. He enjoyed serving in the association for years, interacting with his patients, and making patients smile.
