Donald E. Rasmussen and Paul J. Kaufman
Memorial Fund
A contribution from the Appalachian Pulmonary Laboratory, Inc. established this named fund in honor of Beckley’s late Dr. Donald L. Rasmussen, an expert in pneumoconiosis, and the late Paul Kaufman, a Charleston attorney who worked for passage of a black lung law. Income provides scholarships for those pursuing an education in the medical field; preference is given to applicants who can verify that they are descendants of a Raleigh Co. or So. WV coal miner.
