Letter from Carl V. Moore to Virginia Minnich, May 6, 1938
During her senior year at Ohio State University studying home economics, Virginia Minnich worked part-time in the hematology laboratory under Dr. Carl V. Moore. Though she initially wanted to study the iron in fruits for the Home Economics Department, she quickly went to work with Dr. Moore, who was studying the monthly fluctuations of serum irons in women. After completing graduate school at Iowa State College, Minnich wrote to Moore asking him for a job. Moore wrote back, offering Minnich a job as an assistant in his new hematology laboratory at Washington University. Minnich and Moore worked together at Washington University until Moore’s death in 1972.
