Lafayette Street (Hwy. 18 South) Shelby, NC Monday - Friday 8am until 5:30pm Saturday 8am - 3pm 704-482-8464 www.norrismerchandise.com BACKPACKS BACK PACKS Starting At $ 14 99 even though they were living in a one- bedroom apartment in his wife's parent's house, it was still difficult to make ends meet. Dr. Plonk still had the opportunity to return to his practice in Raleigh, and he had made up his mind that was what he had to do to support his fam- ily. Fortunately, a group of concerned citizens circulated a petition urging Dr. Plonk to stay in Kings Mountain. Honored by the effort, and by the number of signatures, he decided to stay, continuing to practice medicine in Kings Mountain until his retirement in the 1980s. Towards the end of the interview, Dr. Plonk divulges the details of some of his more harrowing and memorable surgeries, and reflects on what he describes as a rewarding career as a surgeon in his hometown. Dr. Plonk frequently runs into his former surgical patients around town and receives expressions of their gratitude – it's not uncommon for him to hear, "I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you." The interview also reveals many of the profound changes in the field of medicine Dr. Plonk has witnessed over his lifetime. He first saw medical care in Kings Mountain transition from backcountry home medicine to professional doctors making house calls; then he watched Kings Mountain Hospital grow from a 24-bed facility in 1951 to the full service hospital it is today, with 102 beds and state-of-the-art technology. He saw the development of life-saving antibiotics and vaccines, as well as advances in anesthetics, can- cer-fighting medicines, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. He still keeps up-to-date of advances in modern medicine. Kings Mountain Historical Museum is extremely grateful to Dr. Plonk for sharing his stories, and to Scott Neisler and Shelby Camera Video & Photography for their assistance with the pro- duction of the oral history interview. As the Museum prepared the "Say Ahh!" exhibit, we felt it was a critical time to capture Dr. Plonk's unique perspective on Kings Mountain's medical history. Thanks to exhibit sponsorship from Cleveland County HealthCare System and Ragan & Reba Harper, the Museum was not only able to produce the recording, but also to purchase a new audiovisual setup to display it. The recording will be archived at the Museum and made available to the public for future research and educa- tional purposes. We invite everyone to view the interview during open hours at the Museum from now until the "Say Ahh!" exhibit concludes on October 25, 2014. CURRENT EXHIBIT: "Say Ahh!" The Incredible Medical History of Kings Mountain From doctors and dentists, to pharmacies and folk remedies, this exhibit presents an historical overview of all things related to health and well-being in Kings Mountain and the surrounding region. The display celebrates the medical pioneers of this area, and highlights the evolution of science and technology in medicine over the past three centuries. Military and Red Cross medical history, as well as iconic Kings Mountain providers like Griffin Drug Center, Kings Mountain Hospital, and Baker Dental Care are represented. ADMISSION IS FREE!

All dona- tions go towards fulfilling the Museum's mission to collect, pre- serve, and interpret history through exhibits, educational programs, tours, and other appropriate means, in order to foster a deeper understanding of the history of our community and the region.
