Perry recounts the story of his mother, Connie, moving from China to the United States and working at the restaurants of various family members, all with the hope to make her mark and own a restaurant herself. This dream saw itself come true in 1965 when Connie took Perry and his siblings to McHenry where they were welcomed immediately with a restaurant to call there own, dubbing it the Plum Garden. Ownership has since passed to Perry in 1972 and later to his eldest son, Jason in 2018. As the newest owner, Jason plans to maintain the connection between past and present that Plum Garden represents. While bringing the restaurant into the newer age, he wants to keep the love Plum Garden exudes for McHenry as well as his grandmother’s wish to give back to the community that embraced them.

She explains how no two people’s ears will react in the same way when exposed to extremely loud sounds, such as fireworks or live music. While one person may not experience any problems, another may have permanently damaged their hearing. Dr. Fisher makes it clear, however, even if you don’t experience immediate pain to the ears, damage has indeed happened and is cumulative, so be sure to wear proper ear protection. She later highlights the topic of hearing aids and shares the importance of switching to rechargeable hearing aids from ones that need batteries. Later, she takes your hearing health questions.
