L' 4 Cdlm emurtztm Frank R. Lock was bom in Lake Charles. Louisiana. October 30, 1910 and received his primary and secondary education there and in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He graduated from Cornell Univer- sity in 1931 and. following a family tradition in the medical profes- sion. he attended Tulane University School of Medicine graduat- ing from that institution in 1935. After an intemship at Southem Pacific Hospital in San Francisco, he returned to his native South to Touro Infimrary for a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. During his residency years he was the C. Jeff Miller Fellow in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tulane and Charity Hospital of Louisiana, ' Upon completion of his residency in 1939, Dr. Lock spent a year as Instructor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tulane. Then. he studied Obstetrical and Gynecologic Pathology at Johns Hopkins University for part ofa year. In 1941, he joined the young faculty of the then new four-year medical school of Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem, the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. as Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Chief of the Obstetric and Gynecologic Service at the North Carolina Baptist Hospital, positions which he held for the next twenty-five years. Uncle Frank, as many of his friends knew him, was acutely aware of Obstetric and Gynecologic needs in post-depression North Carolina and immediately set out to do something about them. He established a group of satellite prenatal clinics in Winston-Salem and surrounding counties, all feeding into the teaching center at Bowman Gray - a system not unlike that prop- osed for regionalized perinatal care today. He was instrumental in establishing North Carolina's Maternal Welfare Committee and chaired that committee for a number of years. A significant number of his publications were inspired by this activity including papers on matemal mortality, post-panum sterilization, abortion. and intrauterine death. Early on, he established a Gynecologic Tumor Clinic and personally supervised the Cancer Service for over twenty years. Undoubtedly his interest in this area was facilitated by his surgical prowess, particularly the areas of vaginal surgery. radical oncologic procedures, and conservative uterine fertility techniques. His interests were broad including pioneer work in transabdominal amniocentesis, evaluation ofthe effects of matemal rubella on the fetus, and an appreciation ofthe need for basic research in our specialty. He actively supported Richard L. Burt's investigations ofcarbohydrate and fat metabolism during pregnancy and was primarily responsible for encouraging my own investigations ofuterine vascular physiology. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment developed from a life-long concem over the behavioral aspects of health and disease as they affected his patients. Pursuing the need for more precise definition and wider promulgation of the significance of such factors, he established a Section on Marriage and Family within his Department, one of the first in the nation to carry formal course work to medical students. In his inaugural address to the College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. he emphasized the inadequacies of medical school, intem and residency programs in teaching counseling for Family Life Programs and led it to implement a national program for Family Life Education for physicians through its Commission on Education whereby it accepted the challenge to improve the care and health of women within the context of health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely as the absence of disease or in.firrnity. Dr. Lock was also an accomplished administrator. He was influential in the early development of teaching and research programs of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine. His achievements were recognized by his election to membership to state, regional and national invitational societies. He served as President of the North Carolina Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, The South Atlantic Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, The American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and The American Gynecological Society. In 1964, Dr. Lock experienced the first of a series of illnesses and operations which plagued him until his death. He tackled each one with confidence and a will to live, However. he stepped down as Departmental Chairman in 1966 and retired in 1973. During his final illness, he typically chose a risky operation rather than a prolonged temiinal illness. He died November 29, 1979 as he had lived: afraid of little, contented, but still struggling to survive in Winston-Salem in the hospital he loved. Frank C. Greiss, Jr., M.D. 6
