This series contains correspondence and related materials primarily concerning Dr. Ballinger’s positions at Johns Hopkins University and Washington University School of Medicine. Of note are letters, schedules, and notes related to his interviews for positions at both schools.

Photographs, 1972-2009, undated.

This series primarily contains photographs, but also includes some correspondence from Jessie Ternberg’s patients and patients’ families.

Some of the children in the photographs have been identified, while others are unidentified.

The correspondence includes letters, thank you notes, and cards sent to Dr. Ternberg by patients and their families.

Many of the photographs were displayed on a bulletin board or in frames in Dr. Ternberg’s office at Saint Louis Children’s Hospital.
