“We take the mountain to Mohammed here,” joked nurse Thornton, explaining that Dr. LeGarde had just returned from the elementary school where he gave checkups to students planning to compete in the special Olympics.
In a letter to the state health department director, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke showered compliments on LeGarde on behalf of the county. Calling for Dr. LeGarde to stay in his present position for an extended period of time, Luke said he has been “very cooperative and extremely competent in dealing with health and sanitation problems in Rappahannock County.”
Luke maintained that the state as well as the planning district counties “can benefit from his experience, understanding and cooperation in solving health related problems” and described LeGarde as “a good manager, doctor, and expert health and sanitation official.”
Dr. LeGarde thinks as highly of Rappahannock as the county thinks of him. “This is a pleasant and cooperative community. My associations here have been happy and rewarding. I trust my services have been as helpful and adequate as the means allow,” he said.
“Our relationships with the other agencies in this county have been absolutely perfect. I can’t always say that about some of the other counties. Here, everything has been fruitful and friendly,” LeGarde concluded.
LeGarde began work with the health department here in January, 1957, after conducting a private medical practice in Washington County, Virginia, for 20 years. Originally intending to be a Presbyterian minister, LeGarde attended King College in Bristol. He and his wife, Ann, have one son, John, a psychologist with the North Carolina Department of Health.
