A funny thing happened to Keith and Ken Cornell on their way to
dental school. Ken was in the placement office of Saint Anselm
College, a small Catholic college in Manchester, New Hampshire,
waiting to talk to an adviser when he began leafing through some
occupational briefs. The entry on orthotics and prosthetics grabbed
his attention, he remembers. “There were stories and pictures of
people being x-rayed and fitted with prostheses,” he says. “And the
more I read, the more fascinated I became.”
