Harold E. Pearson, M.D., of Lubbock, formerly of Fredericksburg, died on Sunday, June 22, 2008 at the University Medical Center. He was 97 years old.
Dr. Pearson was born in Alturas, Calif., on April 18, 1911. He was schooled in Fresno, Calif. and graduated from high school in 1929. He began his undergraduate degree in engineering at the California Institute of Technology in 1929. After three years at Cal Tech, he studied Biology with post-doctoral fellow Barbara McClintock, who later would win the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for her work in genetics. With his new interest in Biology, Dr. Pearson transferred to Stanford University and completed his A.B. in 1933. He completed medical school at Stanford in 1938. Following graduation, he interned and served as an instructor of bacteriology in Stanford's Department of Bacteriology and Experimental Pathology. In 1941 he received a master's degree in public health from Harvard University School of Public Health.
Dr. Pearson's research received recognition through numerous fellowships included the Rockefeller Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation Influenza Lab at Berkeley, Calif. in 1940; Social Security Fellowship of Harvard School of Public Health in 1941; the Guggenheim Fellowship, which supported research at the Institut Pasteur in Paris in 1956; the Alan Gregg Travel Fellowship for Medical Education, which sponsored travel to China to consult with China's Medical Board in 1964.
Dr. Pearson was Board certified in Pathology. His academic career included the following faculty roles: Instructor of Bacteriology, Stanford University, 1937-39; Instructor and Assistant Professor, Epidemiology, Michigan School of Public Health, 1941-44; Assistant and Associate Professor, Bacteriology, University of Southern California, 1949-66; Visiting Professor of Public Health, Keio University, Tokyo, 1965; and Professor of Microbiology, University of Southern California, 1966 to his retirement in 1976.
His expertise included public health, medical microbiology, and infectious diseases. At Los Angeles County Hospital, he supervised laboratory trainees and pathology residents, and served as a Faculty Executive, Head Microbiologist, Assistant Director of Laboratories, and Epidemiologist. During his time there, Los Angeles County was the largest hospital/laboratory in the world.
Dr. Pearson held memberships in many public health associations, both in the U.S. and internationally, primarily in immunology, experimental biology, and international health education. He remained a consultant to Los Angeles County and the State of California in areas of public health. His research focused on communicable diseases and included grants from the National Institute of Health. He published more than 100 articles on his research related to encephalitis, pneumonia, influenza, polio, measles, mumps, hepatitis, Theiler's GD VII virus, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and many others infectious diseases and public health concerns. He served in several administrative roles at the USC School of Medicine, including chairperson of the department of public health.
In 1939, Dr. Pearson married
his first wife, Catherine Guerard, who passed away in 1988. Together they had four children. Dr. Pearson is survived by his son, David Bruce and wife Betty of Santa Rosa, Calif.; daughter, Leslie Pearson Rovainen and husband Carl of Brookings, Ore.; son, Gregory Anders Pearson of Brentwood, Calif. A son, John Pearson, is deceased. His three grandchildren are Toivo Rovainen of Seattle, Wash.; Ahti Rovainen of High Ridge, Mo.; and Torsti Rovainen of Vermont.
Dr. Pearson was an avid world traveler and boating enthusiast. As he traveled in many countries, he would document much of his travels by his many paintings and art collections. He also sailed in many major waterways of the world as well as in the San Francisco Bay where he lived. On one of his many trips to New Mexico, he fell ill and entered the hospital. There he met Mary Lou Hill, a public health nurse and gerontologist, who became his second wife. Through Mary Lou, his family expanded to include two step-daughters and son-in-laws and three grandchildren: Melody Covell, husband Larry, and grandson Scott of Seattle, Wash.; Valerie Paton (formerly of USC), husband Randy, and granddaughters, Melody and Heather, formerly of Fredericksburg and now living in Lubbock.
Our family was saddened to see him become so frail as he loved to participate in Melody's and Heather's activities in Fredericksburg and Lubbock. Our neighbors remember him as being especially active and involved person. In Lubbock, Melody's and Heather's friends and their parents would help him up the bleachers for games, track meets, and United Spirit Arena events.
Our family and friends remember him as an extremely generous man, a man of few words, a dry wit, and a beautiful smile. No words can describe how much we will miss him. He will remain with us - because his love - our love, lives on.
