* '''[[George Denniston]]''', {{MD}}, {{MPH}}, left the east coast early in his career and headed west to Seattle, where he started six birth control clinics. Then, as Associate Medical Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in New York, he persuaded the National Board to add abortion and sterilization to the services offered by 400 clinics in the US. Returning to Seattle, he ran a birth control clinic, and trained doctors worldwide using 16mm films. One day, George learned from [[Marilyn Milos]] of two cases of botched circumcisions. Looking into it, he began to realize the great harm inflicted by this practice, not only to innocent little boys, but to the medical profession as a whole. Gallup polls (1965-1995) showed a decline in trust of doctors by Americans from 95% to 27%! He realized that his activist lay colleagues knew far more about the foreskin than most doctors, and that they were being arrogantly dismissed. He founded [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision]] to fight fire with fire. He is thankful for and enjoys knowing all his fellow intactivists who see the world through clear eyes. Nordland, Washington, USA.
