He was a prominent physician in Lenoir, NC, serving as a family doctor, but with special training in heart ailments. He opened his office in Lenoir in 1926, and continued his practice in Lenoir until his death. Dr. Hedrick seemed tireless as he went about his work in ministering to the sick. He was truly a family doctor, and continued to make house calls throughout his long career. Some of these calls extended beyond Lenoir, and he was known to travel by foot, horse, railroad hand car, and automobile. His hospital patients were cheered by his appearance at their bedside, usually three times per day. He would not leave those who were very sick. His patients knew his love for roses, and rarely was he caught without one in his lapel. He loved to sing old familiar songs, and they seemed to bring out the joy that was in his heart. In his early practice his office calls were just $1 each. These later were increased to $3 and in 1973 they were $5. He was known for his speed whether driving his car, giving a shot, or swabbing a throat. Though busy with his extensive medical practices, he devoted much of his time to his church, to fraternal organizations, and to other services. He was a life-long member of Zion (Reformed) United Church of Christ, and was very active in all of its work. Dr. Hedrick was prominent in medical circles, having served as president of the Caldwell County Heart Association, president of the Board of Medical Examiners of the State of NC, Chief of Staff of the Caldwell County Hospital, and an active member of other medical groups. Dr. Hedrick liked sports, and in early life excelled in football, basketball, tennis and golf. He was a physician for the Lenoir High School Football Team for 45 years. Dr. Hedrick was a strong family man, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He never failed to give his wife credit for rearing his family. Yet, his children were always aware of his love, guidance and trust. He looked forward to all gatherings of people, but most of all to the Hedrick reunion. As a hobby he collected old clocks, old coins, silver certificates and silver dollars. He was the first Vice President and promoter of The Hedrick Family Reunion in 1951. On 11 Dec., 1973, seven days before his death, the people of Caldwell County honored Dr. Hedrick by naming him "Man of the Year". At his funeral on 11 Dec., 1973, his pastor, Rev. Robert E. Myers, used as his topic "JOY". This seemed most appropriate because Dr. Hedrick lived his life first for JESUS - OTHERS - YOU. Although Dr. Hedrick died during the Christmas season, he had spent his life bringing "Christmas" into the lives of all who knew him.

MICKEY MANTLE
      Center Field. Born Oct. 20, 1931 Spavinaw, OK. AL MVP 1956, 1957, 1962. Despite a chronic bone infection in his legs and operations on both knees, Mickey Mantle became baseball's most powerful switch hitter, hitting 536 home runs in the regular season and setting a World Series record with 18 more.
      Named for Mickey Cochrane, his father's favorite player, Mantle learned to switch hit at age five and starred in high school baseball and football, developing osteomyelitis after bruising a leg in a football game. After a short (and error-filled) career as a minor league shortstop, he became the Yankees' regular right fielder before his twentieth birthday. He suffered his first serious injury during the 1951 Series when he tripped on a drain at Yankee Stadium and required surgery for torn knee cartilage.
      Joe DiMaggio retired that fall, and Mantle moved to center field, hitting .311 in 142 games. He led the league in home runs (37) in 1955 and, a year later, won the Triple Crown, hitting 52 homers, knocking in 130 runs, and batting .353. The only player besides Jimmie Foxx to hit 50 homers and win a batting title, Mantle won the MVP award and shone in the World Series, hitting three homers as the Yanks beat Brooklyn in seven games.
      In 1957 he was chosen MVP again as he hit .365. He won home run crowns again in 1958 (42) and 1960 (40), finishing second to Roger Maris' 61 homers in 1961 with 54. Mantle was named MVP a third time in 1962 when he hit .321.
On June 5, 1963, he broke his left foot in Baltimore, ending a season in which he had 15 home runs in 172 at-bats, although he returned in time to hit a home run in the World Series.
      His personal choice for most memorable homer was his ninth-inning shot off Cardinal Barney Schultz in 1964, which broke Babe Ruth's record for lifetime Series home runs and won Game Three. Mickey went on to hit two more in that Series, his last, and wound up his tenth Series with 18 homers, 42
runs scored, 123 total bases, and 40 RBIs--all records.
      Despite his injuries, Mantle holds the Yankee record for games
played--2,401. He retired during spring training in 1969, and, on June 8, received a ten-minute standing ovation at Yankee Stadium. He was named to the Hall of Fame in 1974.

Occupation: Baseball player.
