William Ralph Boone, Ph.D., D.C., 68, of 120 S. Lake Emory Dr. died unexpectedly Sunday, November 21, at his residence. Funeral services were held November 27, 2010 at Seawright Funeral Chapel.

In 1990 he received a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic.
Dr. Boone was also a Licensed Chiropractor in SC, and a Registered Chiropractor in Victoria, Australia and in New Zealand. He was a member of the New Zealand Chiropractor’s Association. Dr. Boone was the Moderator for the Proceedings of the International Straight Chiropractic Consensus Conference in Chandler, AZ in 1992. He was a founding board member of the Council on Chiropractic Practice and served as its Vice President for several years.
In the 1980s Dr. Boone initiated and developed the College's Research Department, serving as its first director to 1990. In 2004, Dr. Boone returned to this post and retired from the College in 2009. Among his other contributions to straight chiropractic, Dr. Boone served as the president of the Straight Chiropractic Academic Standards Association (SCASA), president of the Southern California College of Chiropractic, and the pioneer editor of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR).
He was instrumental in the development and success of the International Research and Philosophy Symposium (IRAPS), now held annually on the Sherman campus, and worked tirelessly to advocate the importance of relevant chiropractic research.
