Niagara Falls: It’s more than just water

I wrote this ar­ti­cle for the November 2008 is­sue of Ontario Dentist, the jour­nal of the Ontario Dental Association. The sub­ject of the piece, Dr. Mike Lococo, is a won­der­ful man who is try­ing to make a dif­fer­ence in his com­mu­nity. I have pub­lished this on my blog with the per­mis­sion of Ontario Dentist. Be Our Guest Dr. Mike Lococo Lights […]
