Ex TB patient finds meaning in year theme and service
A Raleigh County family featured in the 1961 Christmas Seal appeal, Henry C. Lesters, a Pinecrest Sanitarium ex patient, and his wife recount four years of free TB care from the TB and Health Association. Lester, a diabetic, spent 1958 and 1959 in treatment with a later inactive status, while his family continues regular X rays. He seeks vocational schooling as a barber at Huntington Barber College with support from the rehabilitation division, aiming to support his family again.
