Kingrow Kid of
Davenport, Iowa,
Has Brother Here
John V. Plank, 565 North
17th street, doesn't play
checkers anymore, but he has
just as much on the ball phy
sically and mentally as his
brother back in Iowa. And
he's two years older at that.
The Iowa brother lives at
Davenport, His name is Nic
Plank and he runs a jewelry
business. He won't say how
old he is, but admits he's been
playing checkers for 76 years.
He says it's the reason he is
healthy and alert.
Anyway, the Davenport
Democrat and Leader saw a
story in Mr. Plank and one a
recent Sunday ran a three-column
picture of him and told
all about the checker game he
plays at the Tri-city Chess and
Checker club where he is one
of the most active members.
His brother in Salem says
he used to play checkers, too,
but hasn't paid much atten
tion to the game for years.
And he's sharp and healthy,
just like the Kingrow Kid of
Davenport.
