REMEMBERING DR. SID WILLIAMS Dr. Sidney Earl Williams, the found-er of Life University, died at his home in Powder Springs, Georgia, on Dec. 27. He was 84. Dr. Sid E. Williams wanted to con-vert the world to chiropractic care. To that end, he, along with his wife, Dr. Nell Williams, created a place that could educate and train any-one who believed in his vision. Life University – the world’s largest chiropractic college – and later, Life University West, have trained thousands of DCs who have benefited due to Dr. Williams’ educational lead-ership. He was deeply committed to the founding principles of chiropractic, and his advocacy, by way of example, is a legacy to the profession’s leaders who have followed. Dr. Sid, as he was known to his patients, was trained at the Palmer School of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa, for four years before returning to Georgia. He didn’t set out to build the largest chiropractic school, he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2009, but he had big dreams! Throughout his extensive and expansive career, he also founded the Dynamic Essentials seminar series and served as the seventh president of International Chiropractic As-sociation (ICA) from 1982-1985, as ICA Chairman of the Board and as chair of ICA’s Legislative Committee. In 1985 he was recognized as ICA’s Chiropractor of the Year and was also elected as a Distinguished Fellow of the ICA (FICA). Dr. Sid will be missed by his many students/colleagues and patients. news RMT Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College Your practice supply partner Chiropractic Acupuncture Visit our new online store at www.cmccstore.ca CMCC Supply Centre & Bookstore 6100 Leslie Street Toronto, Ontario, M2H 3J1 Local: 416 482 1532 Toll Free: 1 800 268 8940 Fax: 416 482 9745 [email protected] www.canadianchiropractor.ca CANADiAN CHiROPRACTOR | FEBRUARY 2013 • 23
