existing historic structure, along with a cantilevered riverside

service, but perhaps few know that he grew up on a farm in the
heart of Kentucky horse country in Midway. In fact, his father
used to exercise the legendary thoroughbred racehorse, Man O'
War. Dr. Montgomery's hard work walking behind a mule plowing
the fields for his family and others inspired him to go to medical
school at U. of L. A neighbor was so impressed with his work
ethic that she actually paid for the his first two years of
medical school. While in college he met his future wife, Gerry
Montgomery, who would one day become Mayor of Paducah and a
City Commissioner. The couple have three children, two of which
are also physicians, and several grandchildren. Dr. Montgomery
was in the military and served overseas with the medical brigade
during Operation Desert Storm. His public service also included
a stint as President of the Kentucky Medical Association and
other health-related organizations. He is on the PJC Board and
Paducah Bank Board of Directors. He's also a deacon and Sunday
School teacher at Immanuel Baptist Church.
