Thanks Darrell I appreciate you chiming in!! Of course you’re not bias or anything. 😉 …Graeme did a great job. Let me take this opportunity, on behalf of all those in the chiropractic profession, to thank YOU and all of the others in the “Chiropractic Barbeque Group” for restoring a piece of chiropractic history that would most certainly have been lost without your efforts.

Awesome Interview, every chiropractor should be required to listen to this. I so glad Harvey was discovered, and stayed there – in the same cemetery with Bruce Lee, and Jimi Hendrix are you kidding me!!!??? My kids two of whom are at Palmer right now will be blown away when they hear this!!!!!

Hi Bob – so glad you chimed in on this! I agree with you. I am shocked that I did not know about this, even after practicing here in the Northwest for 16 years! The VAST majority in the profession are in the dark about this as well– even us Puget Sound Chiros. Help us spread the word! – tom
