Written on sleeve holding photograph: "Dr. Fenstersheib, S.C. County Health Dept." Dr. Fenstershieb led a team of County Health workers that began to educate people about AIDS. His team printed and distributed pamphlets to men and women in jail. They used the radio to urge people to change their behavior, visited gay bars to educate people and passed out condoms.
