Former WSU football player Richard Sheron decided to close the door on football and open his own practice in dentistry.
On a scholarship for WSU in 1963, Sheron said he played football for four years as the tight end position.
From intense practices to concussions a player needs to have to have a strong mental attitude to get through it, Sheron said.
Sheron said he was accepted into the University of Washington School of Dentistry and the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland.
From the get-go he said he knew that he wanted to go into dentistry.
Sheron’s father was accepted into dental school and was enlisted in the Service to fight in World War II, he said.
