Jackson Home After Miracle Surgery
From Page 1-A
the trip with Jackson and stay
with him every minute of the
time until he was placed in the
care of Dr. Richard Goldner, the
surgeon who re-planted the arm.
Jackson and Mrs. Putnam
served as supports for each
other. “It was the first time she’d
ever flown,” Mrs. Jackson noted,
“and she asked Sherrill to hold
* her hand.”
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson rushed
to Durham by car to be with
their son and for most of the past
month have been with him
there.
Dr. Goldner told Jackson
right off the bat what his options
were. He could simply have the
arm come to a point below the
elbow, have an artificial arm
made or try to save it. If he took
the third option, there would be
no guarantees. He could even-
tually have to have it amputated.
“I told him to try to save it,”
Jackson said.
“He knew it’ll be two years of
therapy and surgery,” Stoney
Jackson added. “But he can ex-
pect a good portion of the use of
it barring infection.”
The Jacksons were told to ex-
pect no more than a pinching ef-
fect with the thumb, forefinger
and middle finger in the near
future. With additional surgery
in the future, there’s the
possibility Jackson will be able to
grip.
“He said it would have been
much easier had it been a clean
cut,” Jack noted.
“They can do more with one
that is a clean chop off,” his
father added. “But with this one
being torn so badly, it was touch
and go.”
Army Band To Play
At National Park
From Page 3-A
an active army band that served
with distinction at Fort Bragg
from 1950 until 1970.
Saturday, July 10, as dusk set-
tles upon the Carolina foothills,
you can take a candlelight tour
of the historic Howser House.
The 179 year old house is a
fascinating example of early
American architecture. Learn
how Henry Howser, a multi-
talented German immigrant,
forged a plantation on the
Carolina frontier. The tours will
be from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
All who are interested should
meet at the Kings Mountain Na-
tional Military Park Visitor
Center.
Alexander the Great made
his soldiers keep clean-
shaven so the enemy
couldn't grab them by their
beards.
Weather permitting, the Liv-
ing History program will also
continue on Saturday and Sun-
day afternoons. A Revolu-
tionary War campsite will be set
up near the Visitor Center and
tended by Park employees in
Revolutionary Period dress. The
camp will feature cooking over
an open fire and also musket and
rifle demonstrations at 1, 2, 3,
and 4 p.m.
Also the 179 year old Howser
House will be open for visitation
on Sunday afternoons from 1
until 4 p.m. A member of the
park interpretive staff will be sta-
tioned at the house to reveal the
history behind this locally
famous rock structure.
Other ongoing daily programs
include an 18 minute film-Kings
Mountain, Turning Point in the
South, an 8 minute audio-visual
museum exhibit program, 1.5
mile battlefield trail, 16 mile
system of hiking trails, and 10
mile system of horse trails.
The public is invited and en-
couraged to attend all programs.
There are no admission fees for
any of the programs.

Jackson knows one thing for
sure. The right arm will be
smaller and shorter than his left
arm and some of the things he’s
done in the past-like playing golf
and softball-will be almost im-
possible in the future. He’s an
avid go-cart racer, too, but he
said he will find a way to con-
tinue racing “even if I have to
put a round steering wheel on
the car and drive with one
hand.” He was second in the
North Carolina State point stan-
dings at the time of his accident.
There have been some
depressing moments since the ac-
cident, and no doubt will be
more in the future. Jack said he
hit his lowest point two weeks
following the surgery when he
RE AR aaabii iat
saw the arm out of the cast for
the first time.
Dr. Goldner had come by to
check it before ‘a scheduled re-
dressing and removed the cast to
see if Jack could move his
fingers. = |
“I guess I was expecting too
much,” Jack said. “I looked at it
and I was expecting to see my
arm just like it used to be.”
“It’s been like one long
nightmare,” Mrs. Jackson said.
“Sherrill’s told me that he feels
like he wants to go back to sleep
and wake up again, and it’ll all
be a dream.”
Stoney Jackson says quite
frankly that his family has been
involved in a miracle.
“I looked at the arm before he
was taken to Durham,” he recall-

fo Go bs Pe ea
ed, “and last Friday we were
shown some pictures that were
made prior to the surgery. They
looked much worse than I
remembered. Dr. Goldner had
very little to work with except
bone.
“As far as I'm concerned,” he
continued, “the Duke hospital
has been named wrong all these
years. It’s the Duke Miracle
Center, not the Duke Medical
Center. It’s unbelievable what’s
being done there.”
The Jacksons say the cards,
visits and prayers they’ve receiv-
ed during the past month, and
the cooperation they received
from the Kings Mountain
Rescue Squad, friends, Carmet
Industries, Dr. Plonk and the
Kings Mountain Hospital, made
them further realize what
they’ve known all along-that
Kings Mountain people have a
lot of heart.
“It’s really done a lot for Sher-
rill’s morale,” Mrs. Jackson said.
“People don’t know what a
good thing they’ve got in the
Kings Mountain Rescue Squad,”
Stoney added. “And Dr. Plonk
and Dr. Goldner are my horse if
it never wins a race. People
ought to be proud to live in little
old Kings Mountain. When you
need somebody they really come
out for you.
“We really hate that this kind
of accident had to happen at
Carmet,” he went on. “The peo-
ple at Carmet have been super
nice and have shown a lot of
concern.”
