When I made plans to visit Misfits Motorsports at 2393 East Main St. in Lincolnton, I thought I’d just talk to owner Jason Rhoney about himself and what the shop has to offer. I found a man with an extensive resume of experience and education and a high regard for motorcyclists, especially their commitment to one another’s safety and well-being and to society, in particular aiding those experiencing difficult times, including children.

I had a surprise when I visited Gary Dellinger, owner of Dellinger Electric in Cherryville. His dad Gene was on hand for the interview. I was there to learn about Gary and his electric business, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month. An unexpected treat was hearing a little about Gene’s school days. You’ll have to keep reading to find out what I learned about Gene. First is what I learned from Gary, a born and bred Cherryville man.

With Lincoln County Historical Association board president Carole Howell as my guide, I thoroughly enjoyed a morning tour of the organization’s museum and research office at 403 East Main St. and the 1810 Doctors’ House and museum at 202 West Main St., both of which are in downtown Lincolnton. It was my first visit, and I did not come away disappointed. In truth, I left in awe of LCHA’s volunteers, including Carole and office manager Sara Sain.

His name is Rhett William Caudle. . . Rhett, like the dashing Rhett Butler of “Gone with the Wind.” Wearing his Valentine hearts-covered one-piece jumpsuit with red bowtie, it’s not a stretch of the imagination that seven-month-old Rhett Caudle will one day attract a throng of Scarlett O’Haras. Were it 1939 when the famous movie premiered, it’s unlikely baby Rhett would be alive. The same can be said about the little fellow’s mother, Crissy Caudle.

After Carole Howell, president of the Lincoln County Historical Association’s board of directors, told me that Madam Johnsie R. Brevard is an expert on the Brevard family from eastern Lincoln County, I got in touch with Madam Johnsie, and we planned a meeting. Madam Johnsie lives in Grover. We agreed to get together at the handsome Mauney Memorial Library in Kings Mountain. Visiting the stately home – turned library was a treat. Meeting Madam Johnsie was even more so.
