Like so many other doctors of chiropractic, Terry A. Rondberg, D.C.,
president of the World Chiropractic Alliance and publisher of The
Chiropractic Journal has the greatest respect and love for "Dr.
Joe." He sent this message to his one-time mentor and is sharing it
here with his permission. "I encourage everyone whose life has been
touched by the wisdom and dedication of Dr. Flesia to contact him and let
him know what he means to you," Dr. Rondberg said. Dr. Flesia can be
reached via e-mail at jflesia@msn.com.
Dr. Joe:
I wanted to personally thank you again for all you have done for the
profession and for me. You taught me what chiropractic was and, more
importantly, what it was not.
You changed my life and much of what I have accomplished since then is
due to the direct influence you had on me at my first Renaissance so long
ago in Kansas City, Missouri.
Pieces of you will live in many doctors' lives for generations to come.
I feel extremely lucky to have had you as my mentor, share your vision and
learn from your wisdom.
You have guided and influenced the lives of tens of thousands of
doctors and millions of their patients with the sacrifices you made
traveling the highways and byways, flying hundreds of thousands of miles
to educate and elevate the consciousness of doctors worldwide.
I can only hope I am able to honor you as I try to honor BJ Palmer
daily by living and working to fulfill our mission of a subluxation-free
world. The profession can never repay you for everything you have given
us, your passion and commitment has been a wonderful gift to us all and I
wanted to thank you one more time for being the greatest chiropractic
warrior I have ever known.
I will always cherish our friendship.
Terry
