Kenneth WolfeWilburn and Mary “Burkie” Cook White know the importance <strong>of</strong> having good medicalpr<strong>of</strong>essionals in the community. Wilburn grew up near Holden Hospital in Holden,W.Va., and knew many doc<strong>to</strong>rs in his neighborhood. Their son, Mark, is a graduate <strong>of</strong>West Virginia University <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> and has a family practice near Fayetteville, W.Va.Their daughter, Carole, is a surgical nurse in North Carolina.“I have always known the value <strong>of</strong> medicine and the need for good doc<strong>to</strong>rs and nurses,”Wilburn said. “I felt the Marshall University <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> was a good place <strong>to</strong> helpout.”As a retired accountant for Southern Public Service Company in Salem, Va., Wilburnhas been financially comfortable since he retired. Because <strong>of</strong> their commitment <strong>to</strong> the field<strong>of</strong> medicine, he and his wife chose <strong>to</strong> make a charitable rollover gift from their IRA <strong>to</strong> TheMarshall University Foundation Inc., designated for the <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>. This gift not onlyhelps the school’s endowment, but is a way <strong>of</strong> reducing taxes for the Whites.
