The image below was cut out from that list. It shows here that the LaSaines benefitted, at least partly, from a grant (probably a Rockafeller Grant) that alloted them opportunities in the medical field

Recordings		Interview with Loretta Jean Webber. I discovered a 2003 newsletter from the Johnson C. Smith University website where I read an entry in which a Loretta and Spurgeon Webber discussed Alonzo Thomas Jr. It really seems that by GrandDad made an impact on Jean. I called Spurgeon Webber's Dental Office about a week ago. Jean contacted me back. I thought Spurgeon was a student as well. Jean says her husband didn't attend his class. Jean spends some time with us to talk about my grandfather, Thomas Alonzo LaSaine Jr. I hope you enjoy this interview. http://www.familyoriginstree.com/media/jean_webber.mp3 -- Reginald Vaughn Finley, Sr.
