REGGIE GOlD REmEmBERED The chiropractic profession mourns the passing of a dynamic clinician and mentor, Dr. Reggie Gold, on March 24, 2012. Dr. Gold’s influence on the profes-sion began in 1957 when he graduat-ed from Palmer School of Chiroprac-tic. Following graduation he moved to Spring Valley, New York and began teaching at the Columbia Institute of Chiropractic and later at Sher-man College of Straight Chiropractic. He also who went on to receive an advanced Ph.C from Palmer College in Davenport in 1961. His lectures spanned chiropractic colleges around the world and generations of doctors. His lectures, videos, and presenta-tions demonstrate that he was a mas-ter of communication. He developed techniques to explain chiropractic to lay people with ease and beauty. A beacon of information about the benefits of chiropractic, he worked diligently at debunking the miscon-ceptions about chiropractors. His “Chemistry of Life” lecture helped thousands of chiropractors articulate that we are so much more than back doctors. A generous man, who shared his skill, ability and expertise with the chi-ropractors world-wide, Dr. Gold also supported the profession financially. In 1994 he contributed $125,000 to Sherman College of Straight Chiro-practic – at the time it was the largest single donation in the school’s history. When asked about the 1994 dona-tion he stated, “Everything I have, everything I hope to have, everything I am or ever hope to be, I owe to chi-ropractic.” Dr. Gold is also quoted as having said: “When I go, I want people to say I did all I could with all I had.” Through websites, social media and e-mails, chiropractors the world over have poured out their sympathy to, and prayers for, the Gold family and have expressed how much of an in-spiration this “chiropractic rudder” had been to them and so many oth-ers. Their stance on his passing?: DCs across the profession are committed “to take up the torch” and continue in the spirit of Dr. Gold’s passion for the profession.
