This interview with Dr. Clayton S. "Sam" White (1912-2004) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, surveys his life and distinguished career. A medical scientist/physician/ administrator, Dr. White was born and educated in Colorado (University of Colorado, Boulder and UC School of Medicine, Denver) and spent two years as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. After military service in the Navy, he came to Albuquerque in 1947 at the creation of the Lovelace Foundation for Medical Education and Research to launch and help lead its research programs. From that 1947 arrival until 1974, he was continuously engaged in development and leadership of the Foundation. Among the subjects discussed in this interview are Dr. White's personal and professional backgrounds; the evolution of his medical research training and interests; the Foundation and its early years of research and education programs; the individuals centrally involved in the Lovelace institutions; relationships between the Foundation and Clinic and outside agencies, such as the Atomic Energy Commission, the Air Force, Sandia Corporation, the airline industry, and others; and the physical expansion of the Foundation.
