I met Arno Locks in the 80s when he was my undergraduate professor.However, he will always be my professor; not only in Orthodontics, but also in ethics and fight for the causes of Dentistry.He loves what he does.And those who love, also care, listen and get involved.As undergraduate students, we were aware that a forward-thinking professional who devoted special attention to his students was right in front of us.As his colleague, I fondly remember when he invited me to join the orthodontic postgraduate program at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), always encouraging me to express my opinions in a critical and constructive manner.He is always open to discussion!I found these moments in which we are able to express our admiration for a colleague as Prof. Arno very especial, and I have fostered this opportunity with great pleasure.He was born in Braço do Norte, a town located in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.As a little child, his family moved to the metropolitan area of Florianópolis, in Biguaçu
