Dr. Funderburk&#8217;s long list of volunteer leadership for endodontics includes serving as a Foundation Trustee and AAE Director and on several committees for both organizations. Mrs. Funderburk has been very active in the AAE Alliance, a group of members&#8217; spouses who supported the Foundation with a series of events and contributions. They recently visited with Major Gifts Manager Gary Rejebian to reminisce about their service to endodontics.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>What inspires your giving?<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nDF: I got here on the shoulders of a lot of people, I didn&#8217;t get here all by myself. It&#8217;s just very important for me to give back. Rebecca&#8217;s even more giving than I am. I am very proud of her having been awarded honorary membership in AAE for her work with The Alliance and the Foundation.\r\n\r\nRF: I started doing fundraisers with the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs, and then with the women&#8217;s shelter and the homeless shelter. We were in Chicago one year, someone got me out of bed one morning and said, &#8220;The Alliance is going to do an auction to make money for the Foundation\u2026&#8221; I knew nothing about it, but we did that for probably the next eight years\u2026 there were a lot of people involved \u2026 but I think we were able to raise over $400,000!\r\n\r\n(David and I) would not be where we are today, enjoying this wonderful retirement, without AAE, and all this can go away if we don&#8217;t all do our part \u2026 [Donors] were very appreciative of what endodontics has done for their lives and it shows in the assets of the Foundation.\r\n\r\nDF: I grew up poor and I got some scholarships, and it really helped me. I just want to give back to some people who are coming up behind me who need a little help. My freshman year I got a scholarship from some foundation for $500 that paid for two semesters&#8217; tuition, and I had $250 left over. It just kind of stuck with me that someone I have no connection to agreed to help me out. My mother was a temporary and a single parent. My dad had some alcohol problems and left. She worked as a Kelly girl and then got a job with Union Carbide.\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_3522\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3522\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-300x214.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-1024x731.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-1536x1097.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-2048x1463.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-236x167.png 236w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/AAE-DENTSPLY-Funderburk-Borgia-Hall-Jurevic-Bennett-300x214@2x.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Funderburks established a scholarship at West Virginia University for dental students in need.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>How did you get into dentistry?<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nDF: I was studying oceanography at University of Washington when I got a letter from Lyndon Johnson saying welcome to Vietnam\u2026 I got a deferment by going to dental school and joining the Air Force reserve, so I went into the Air Force as a dentist. My first wife&#8217;s uncle was a dentist who encouraged me. It never occurred to me to be a dentist, but you just bump into people along the way who can point you in a different direction.\r\n\r\nDr. (Eddie) Skidmore was a big influence on me. I taught at the dental school part time when I was a general dentist in Morgantown. Without Ed Skidmore, no telling where I would have gone. But it&#8217;s not like I sat down and planned my life. He&#8217;s probably one of my best friends now, it turns out he was my next-door neighbor in Morgantown. He and his wife would sneak over to my house and get in my hot tub at night. I had the first hot tub in Morgantown, it was an old redwood tub, so I was popular in the neighborhood. We just hit it off.\r\n\r\nHe was strict when I was in my program. Friendship didn&#8217;t get in the way of my education. Dr. \u00a0Balaban lived on the other side of me, so I was surrounded by people who just got me going in that direction.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>How did you get involved with AAE<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nDF: Ed Skidmore insisted we get involved. He made sure we went to the meetings as residents. He really pushed getting involved\u2026he just said, &#8216;you&#8217;re going to do it.&#8217; I first got involved with ADA as a district trustee. If you&#8217;re going to complain about stuff you better get in a position to do something about it; don&#8217;t sit back and grumble-get involved!\r\n\r\nClara Spatafore got me involved in AAE (as a Director). It&#8217;s just been so rewarding; going to AAE22 and seeing all the energy and curiosity the young people had\u2026 that&#8217;s the lifeblood of our profession.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>What do you cherish most about your involvement in AAE?<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nDF: One of the highlights of our involvement was getting that lifetime Spirit of Service award a few years ago. It was just such an honor.\r\n\r\nRF: There&#8217;s not a soul that&#8217;s ever come to David&#8217;s office who didn&#8217;t get what they needed, especially if they didn&#8217;t have money\u2026.[David] has always worked with patients.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>How would you like to be remembered?<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\nDF: We&#8217;ve enjoyed life, it&#8217;s been a good journey. I just like people to think of me as a kind, generous person.\r\n\r\nRF: When we do something, what we try to think about first is, if you do something good and somebody knows about it, that really doesn&#8217;t count.\r\n\r\nI&#8217;ve heard a lot of people say, I don&#8217;t owe AAE anything, well of course you do! You got an education. You&#8217;ve got to look back on that professor who helped you get where you are.\r\n\r\nI value the friendships more than anything. We&#8217;ve watched everyone&#8217;s kids grow up. It&#8217;s almost like a great big family. David was talking with three of them this morning.\r\n\r\nDF: The relationships are lifetime\u2026we&#8217;re going to France with a couple endodontists we met, and Antarctica\u2026 we&#8217;ve been all over the world.\r\n\r\nRF: We&#8217;ve learned from them\u2026they give, and we want to participate. How much money do you really need? Just try to help someone else and keep your profession going. Sometimes I hear people say, &#8216;Look at how much money the Foundation has!&#8217; and want to give elsewhere. I don&#8217;t think they understand its importance to the profession.\r\n\r\nWest Virginia University did a lot for me. We created an endodontic scholarship program there honoring Dr [James A.] Griffin. \u00a0Any member can join the Freedland Society, that&#8217;s a no-brainer, you&#8217;re going to be gone, you&#8217;re not going to miss that money.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Dr. and Mrs. David and Rebecca Funderburk of Colorado made their third bequest to the Foundation&#8217;s Freedland Society at AAE22.
