"During the first days of June 2003, 17 dentists from 7 different countries and 4 continents met in a secret place deep in the heart of Germany to learn all the tricks about the new 3D software!"
There are many many photos on this page! .... If you don't have at least DSL .. Start the down load ... Go change the water in your milling machine, have a few beers ... It will then be as loaded as you are!
The photos of the club members that donated their time and cars for the weekend including a tour of the Rhine, Castles, etc are the last photos shown near the bottom of the page......Becky & I did this same tour last Autumn 02.
Doc Mike has lectured extensively on the Birkhoff Effect, which he discovered, .... It has now been incorporated into the New Cerec 3D software. At the bottom of this page see included an email to Doc Mike summing up the weekend!
Becky & I wish our schedule had allowed us to come over to this meeting.
The background used here is actually a photo of one of my practice preps

Just last week (Late Oct 03 our Germany trip) Becky & I did tour Dusseldorf again and took the train with Doc Mike to Cologne to visit the wonderful Cathedral there! See the photo here below .... My & Becky's Heimatland (homeland) Germany ... (Our Grandparents came over to the USA just after the 1st world war.) ... Has become a very special place to us once again as we visit ... we plan on doing the Mozel River area next in a couple of years.

Betreff: Re: [cerec] of course we did it!
To Dr. Mike and the Cerec Group,
I just wanted to send this message to say on behalf of my wife (Dr.
Yen) and myself thanks to all involved with the 3D class for a great
weekend. I enjoyed meeting everyone form across the globe, and Mike, as
Shurlang is originally from Taiwan, I believe it is fair to say that it
rightly is 4 continents and 8 different countries! All present could not
be more dedicated to:
1. Providing excellent care to their patients, and
2. Enthusiastically spreading the word about Cerec while attempting to learn
all that is possible to know about the machine. Mike, Dirk, and Mike, you
all had excellent presentations. Special thanks to Mike H. for all of the
extra time given in machine-side instruction and to Mike B. for letting us
look over his shoulder while treating his patients.
I never would have envisioned my first trip down the German Autobahn
to have been in a red 1959 Cadillac convertible!!! But, Mike, thanks for the
tour of the Rhineland. You are a great guide to all of the castles. Are
you sure there was never a Schloss Birkhoff? Among other firsts, I will
remember my first glass of Alt beer (or make it my first three glasses!)
over brochwurst and sourcrout. Also, my first taste of white Spargel over
a wide ranging discussion of the state of Germany and of the world with Dr.
Dirk at whose knowledge I still marvel. I also lost count of all of the
numerous 15 to 20 character words used in the German language--it must be
most difficult to play scrabble over there.
To sum up, though, we could not have had a better meeting. The
setting was so relaxed at a quaint country inn with good food and drink, and Dr.
Mike, you and Bridgett were so kind to open your home to us. We love
Germany and its people and will return to visit again. I'm sure we will
all agree that any country in which you can order beer at McDonalds has to be
doing a few things right!
Auf Wiedersehen,
Russ
