CHILLICOTHE— Dr. Brad Pendell thought he knew exactly how his life would unfold when he left Waverly for college. Instead, a scholarship sent him around the world, introduced him to lifelong friends, led him to his future wife and ultimately brought him back home to build the orthodontic practice he'd dreamed about since middle school.
