When optometrists attended think tanks.
This paper discusses the organization of the Bradford Woods Conference in Indiana that began optometry think tank meetings in 1954, the Allenberry Conference held annually for many years starting in 1967, and the Blue Sky Conference in Michigan that started concurrently with Allenberry. These were freewheeling meetings with enthusiastic exchange of often visionary ideas.
