A reply to "The trumpet and the toothbrush"

This is the actual reply from Fry Orthodontics in Kansas City, MO. I think I may actually contact her for a toothbrush. Will the REAL Dr. Robert W. Fry please stand up?

Dear Dagmar,

Each day brings new surprises and I have to admit, your story is unlike any I've ever heard. It's so great that you were able to find us with a Google search. You'll be interested to know that we have, indeed, imprinted give-away toothbrushes with Dr. Robert W. Fry, however it would have been more recent than the dates you are referring to. Dr. Fry began practicing orthodontics in 1977 as part of a group practice (at that time both doctors' names would have been on the toothbrushes). He started his own practice 10 years later in 1987.

So if the toothbrush is from our office, it would have been sometime between 1987 to probably the mid-1990's when we switched from imprinting our toothbrushes with just his name to imprinting them with "Fry Orthodontics".

I hope this information is helpful to you. If you know anyone in Kansas City (KS or MO) who needs a new toothbrush - please let us know, we'd be happy to provide a replacement. We send our best wishes to your brother, Tom and his renewed hobby.

Thanks for brightening our day!

Warmest Regards,
Yvonne Graf, R.D.H., General Manager
