Gerald Dunn
Former regent Gerald "Gerry" Dunn died March 20, 2005. He was 70.
Born in Wellsville, N.Y., in October 1934, Kelsey earned three degrees from U-M-a bachelor's degree in 1956, a dental degree in 1964, and a master's degree in prosthodontics in 1967. After earning his bachelor's degree, he attended the U.S. Navy's Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., and returned to Michigan following his tour of duty.
Shortly after earning his dental degree, Kelsey joined the faculty in 1964 as a clinical instructor. In 1967, he became an assistant professor; six years later, a full professor.
During a career that spanned 35 years, Kelsey was editor of the school's Alumni Bulletin from 1970-80. He also produced more than 25 videos on dentures and occlusion in the school's television studios. For many, his most memorable piece was a 30-minute video he produced and narrated in 1975 that focused on the school's 100-year history.
His literary interests transcended dentistry.
As a long-time Samuel Clemens aficionado, Kelsey's study contained an extensive collection of rare books, pamphlets and artifacts that focused on what he called "the country's greatest literary genius, Mark Twain." He also was interested in the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination.
Kelsey was a charter fellow of the American College of Prosthodontics and a leader in teaching and clinical activities at the predoctoral and graduate levels, and in continuing education programs. His commitment to teaching was rewarded on five occasions when he was voted Teacher of the Year.
In a spring 1994 interview in the school's alumni magazine, DentalUM, he said, "I feel very fortunate that my career has allowed me to participate in a wide range of interesting and rewarding experiences-whether I'm helping a first-year student in the preclinical lab, or working with a graduate student involved in a difficult clinical situation. I enjoy what I do very much."
Kelsey served on numerous dental school committees, including two terms on its executive committee. He was a member of the University's Senate Assembly-serving as its secretary-and was appointed to the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, and the Library Council.
He also was an integral part of the school's Gordon H. Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry Committee during its development.
Survivors include his wife, Jean; daughter, Michele Bates, of Oxford, Ohio; son, John, of Deerfield, Ill.; two brothers and two grandchildren.
