Rhine kept in touch with Dooley and those who worked with Dooley, including Teresa Gallagher, Malcolm Dooley, and Verne Chaney, in order to keep current on Dooley's projects and progress.

         Teresa Gallagher, Dooley's volunteer secretary, wrote Rhine and Davis in July 1960, telling them about Dooley's involvement with several Laotian students who were studying in America. She also told them of Dooley's recent trips and activities.

         In December 1960, Rhine and Davis received a letter from Dooley updating them on the new MEDICO teams and their work. He also requested that they find grade school or high school students willing to gather sutures and bandaids that could be forwarded to the MEDICO hospitals.

         Teresa Gallagher also included a message to update the men about Dooley's failing health.

         Malcolm Dooley, Dr. Dooley's brother, sent Rhine a letter in February 1962, explaining that some members of MEDICO left and formed the Dr. Tom Dooley Foundation, Inc., because they felt that MEDICO under Dr. Peter Comanduras' leadership was not fulfilling Dr. Dooley's founding goals.
