| Description |
CAPT Richard Harper (ret) was born on May 11, 1938 in Chambersburg, PA to Robert and Dorothy Harper of Chambersburg. ... When starting dental school in 1965, he commissioned in the Navy Dental Corps as an Ensign and obtained the rank of Lieutenant upon graduation from dental school in 1969. ... His first assignment as a dental officer was to the Marine Air Wing at Cherry Point, NC followed by an assignment to the dental command in Guam. The Navy then selected him for training to the University of Indiana's graduate program in restorative dentistry. Completing his Master of Science degree, Dr. Harper was assigned to the Navy's graduate dental school at the Bethesda Naval Hospital as an instructor and mentor to the graduate dental officers in attendance. Two years later, he was assigned to the dental command in Norfolk as the regional consultant in restorative dentistry. His temporary duties while stationed in Norfolk included assignments to Cuba, Bermuda and Iceland.
Following two years in private practice in Meadville, he returned to Bethesda where he was Chairman of both the graduate Operative Dentistry and General Dentistry programs. During this two year assignment, he was selected to be the Dental Corps detailer, working for the Navy's Bureau of Personnel (BUPERS) in Arlington, VA. A visit to the dental clinics in Europe and Cairo, Egypt were undertaken by him to ensure adequate staffing at these clinics. An assignment as the Executive Officer in the European dental command, headquartered in Naples, Italy followed the BUPERS assignment. His responsibilities were to assist the Commanding Officer, ensuring that the dental clinics in England, Scotland, Wales, Spain, Greece and Italy were staffed and supported in their role as dental care providers for all Navy and Marine Corps personnel assigned in Europe. Additional assignment to Bahrain and Portugal were also his responsibility. Following his three year tour in Naples, Dr. Harper received orders as the Commanding Officer to the Navy dental clinics in the Northwest U.S., headquartered in Bremerton, WA. Navy Dental Clinics in Idaho, Alaska, Oregon and Washington state fell under his list of responsibilities. Dr. Harper returned from the three year tour in Bremerton to Washington, D.C. as he was now assigned to the Surgeon General's staff at the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery's dental division for operational readiness of all Navy dental clinics worldwide. A three year tour there found him accepting his last navy assignment, one which he requested, that of Dean of the Navy Postgraduate Dental School at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, his third assignment there. He retired from the United States Navy in 1997. His awards included the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal (three stars), and the Navy Achievement Medal. Subjects: Dental Corps; obituary |
