30 years ago Friday, March 21, 1978, a young South African named Fred Schofield arrived in the United States to pursue his goal of becoming a chiropractor in America. Since that 1970s spring day, he has touched the lives of millions, providing chiropractic care to thousands of residents in the Phoenix, Arizona area, and teaching hundreds of chiropractors worldwide methods to deliver quality chiropractic care in their communities.

The month of March is on its way out, and April is right around the corner. There’s a change in seasons coming, and it’s a fresh time to hone up on some chiropractic philosophy, science, and art. Events are taking place all over the U. S., and there’s a few I wanted to report on in Southern California, Las Vegas, and New Jersey. It’s a great time to get off your buttocks and fellowship with others.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Dr. Sid Williams and his “bride” (as he calls her) Dr. Nell. On March 18th, Dr. Sid turns 80 years young. March 13th (today), is Dr. Nell Williams birthday.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers anyone born before 1957 to be immune to the measles.
