J. Herbert Waite

    "The J. Herbert Waite you found is my grandfather and I was certainly named after him. He went onto get his MD at Harvard, did a couple of years in Australia and Papua-New Guinea studying parasites with Rockefeller Foundation funding, and then settled into a very illustrious career as a professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School. I did not know about his stint at Indiana-PA. Thanks very much!"  The information above was provided in an email message February 2, 2004 by Dr. J. Herbert Waite, Professor in The Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of California in Santa Barbara, California.
