Wonder, not worry.

Jo Anne Tudor remembers when waiting for mammogram results meant days of anxiety. But she also remembers when the Women’s Imaging Center changed all that.

Now, Jo Anne receives the most advanced diagnostics and sameday test results from a program designed specifically to offer comfort, convenience and peace of mind. And she’s the first to tell you: living well means living worry free.

Beaufort Lifestyle is proudly produced by:

Wow! 6 Years! They say time flies when you’re having fun……and we have had some fun!

There is no way you can produce a local magazine in a place like Beaufort, SC and not have fun. The people have been so receptive to us and to what we do….we have been embraced with open arms.

We have gotten to ride in a parade with Candice Glover and her family, we have met CJ Cummings and cheered him on in his national titles, we have gotten to interview and photograph professional golfer Mark Anderson, we have had the opportunity to be in numerous festivals, we have been the guests of the Reaves family on their shrimp boat, we have been in the Blessing of the Fleet during Water Festival, we are one of the media partners of Beaufort International Film Festival….you name it, we have had fun doing it.

Julie Hales, PUBLISHER The best part of all that fun is we get to share it with you. For the past 6 years, we have been sharing your city, your community and your neighbors with you on the pages of Beaufort Lifestyle.

Recently I received a message from one of my writers. It said, “Julie, there are no words for the wonder, joy, excitement and opportunities that you have given me. Thank you forever.”

The message touched my heart. When I opened this business, the thing that was most important to me was to print positive stories about people in our communities and highlight the good people that do wonderful things.

We have done this. And, it has afforded us many great opportunities. There is wonder.

There is joy. There is excitement.

And, to know that I can share that with my writers, my staff and my readers, certainly makes my job so fulfilling.

Bring on our 7th year, because we have barely gotten started.

A conversation with

Pat Conroy story by mary ellen thompson

photography by john wollwerth

W

e think of Pat Conroy as not only a writer, but really, one of the greatest of Southern writers.

And he is. Which of us has not read at least one of his books? But the true greatness of Pat Conroy extends so very far beyond the reach of his words. As bedazzling as the rich complexity of the use of language in his novels is, the stories he intersperses in his non-fiction books and blog are the ones that give you the sense of the man, his humanity that has risen over the wounds of his childhood. The amazing boundlessness of his empathy, courage, and arcs of friendships are the finest tributes imaginable to the legions of people with whose lives he has intersected.

Reading a Pat Conroy novel is like being lashed to a mast, and sailing into a story that surrounds you like a blanket of fog.

Your primary senses are dulled to anything but the rhetoric and where it will take you; yet in the vast distance you can still sense shrapnel shooting by as the stars of his language explode around you.

Talking with Pat is like facing an immense buffet and trying to choose just what will fit on your plate. We talked about food, exercise, books and some of the characters he’s met along the way.

So, come and join us, sit down, eavesdrop on our conversation.

Since food is a legendary affection for Pat, I wondered if his decision to spend time at the gym and get in better shape affected the way he now cooks, and if his cookbook was actually just a masquerade to have a book of short stories.

Pat said, “We all know what we should eat, what’s healthy; I wrote that cookbook for people who were trying to speed up the dying process. If there was a just and merciful God, a dry martini would have one calorie and a bean sprout would have three thousand.

“In the cookbook are the stories I’d written but not published, I wrote and re-wrote them. I loved writing it - no one died, no one was beaten.”

We discussed the particular nature of inflicting pain personal trainers have; Pat agreed, “I’m working out five times a week and something new always hurts; Mina finds ways to torture me.”

In his cookbook, Pat comments about his aversion to cilantro which is a feeling I share. I wondered how he felt about tilapia, which I think became popular on menus at about the same time.

Pat’s take? “People look at me like I’m crazy when I say I don’t like cilantro; they tell me to try it fresh, or dried or just out of the garden. I’ve tried it all those ways; it tastes like soap and I just don’t like it. Tilapia? I can’t even figure out what tilapia is.”

I love the stories Pat tells in the cookbook about the times he unwittingly met some very famous chefs. My favorite was the night Nan Talese was taking him out to dinner to celebrate the launch of The Prince of Tides. She didn’t realize that the restaurant didn’t take credit cards and tried to give the owner/ chef her gold bracelets to hold while she went back to the hotel for money, and he wouldn’t even consider it. Years later Pat saw him on television and realized it was Emeril Lagasse.

Pat laughed at the memory, “Nan was wearing an armful of bracelets that were worth a small fortune. I wished I’d had the money to give to him and I could have kept the bracelets! I told her she should have published his first cookbook, but she still thinks he was a dreadful man that night.”

Since a conversation with Pat can round more corners than a NASCAR race, it doesn’t seem strange that we came to the matter of snakes. He wrote, “My mother, who was no stranger to wildlife, collected poisonous snakes and once told me that a copperhead I caught her for Mother’s Day when she was pregnant with my brother Jim was the most thoughtful present she had ever

10 October/November 2015 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

received.” I wondered if that seemed out of the ordinary to him.

Pat shook his head, “Not to us, she was the only mother we ever had. I like snakes; I know many people don’t, my wife is terrified of them. Mom would get all of us kids banging pots and pans while she went to the other side of the woods and wait for us to scare the snakes out. She would pick them up, she’d pick up a rattlesnake. We all talked about it later and thought it was because she came from a town in Alabama that was rife with snake handling fundamentalists.”

If you’ve read any of Conroy, you know that his mother’s favorite book of all time was Gone with the Wind, and her great love of the book had a profound influence on his life. He was invited by Margaret Mitchell’s heirs to write a sequel but the negotiations and conditions imposed proved too overwhelming and stringent. Because that book had such an impact on him, I wanted to know if he was disappointed that he didn’t get to write the sequel. Did he have a strategy for Rhett?

With a sigh, Pat replied, “I couldn’t deal with what they wanted.

I wanted to write it because I wanted to dedicate it to my mother.

I had some good ideas; it would have been the autobiography of Rhett Butler. I had a plan for Rhett - he was from Charleston, he would have gone to the Citadel.”

Pat, I asked, in Why I Write, you say “My well-used dictionaries and thesauri sing out to me when I write, and all English words are the plainsong of my many-tongued, longwinded ancestors who spoke before me.” I was tickled to see you used “meretricious” twice in Beach Music; are you still a thesaurus user, or after your keeping long lists of words, is your vocabulary now sufficient unto itself?

Pat handed me one of the brown, well worn, leather bound journals that tie with a string of rawhide, and on the left hand pages were penned, in brown ink, lists of unusual words written in beautiful, and very tiny, script.

He told me, “Sure I still use it, and I keep notebooks. I make a list down the side of the page so the words can inspire me.

Language fires me up.”

When friends heard I was going to write this story, they asked if I could incorporate some of their questions and Pat was gracious enough to field them.

Susan: I’d ask him how he finds the courage to be so raw and revealing in his writing.

Pat: “It was an accident at first, I didn’t realize how many people would be hurt.

When I wrote The Boo, it was the The Citadel, they banned the book. The Water is Wide hurt the city of Beaufort. The Great Santini hurt my entire family. But if I didn’t tell the truth the way I saw it, I wasn’t worth anything as a writer.”

Cindy: If you hadn’t found literature, what do you think would have become of your life?

Pat: “I loved teaching. One of the two years I’ve never written about were the two years I taught at Beaufort High School. I don’t think I was a very good teacher, but I loved teaching. I think I would have gotten good at it, but after Daufuskie no one would hire me to teach so it was a good thing that I liked writing.”

Pierce: Ask him how he came up with the off-the-wall idea of putting a tiger in The Prince of Tides.

Pat: “Happy the Tiger was in a cage at a gas station in Columbia, SC; I went there to get gas so I could see him. If you bought gas, you got a free car wash and while the car was being washed, you got to throw a chicken neck to the tiger. He was mean as hell,

“My well-used dictionaries and thesauri sing out to me when I write, and all English words are the plainsong of my many-tongued, long-winded ancestors who spoke before me.”

- Pat Conroy, Why I Write he probably didn’t like being in a cage outside in the hot South Carolina sun. They eventually built the zoo in Columbia so that tiger had a place to go.

“I was living in Rome, the story was in trouble, it had rapists and murderers and I didn’t know what to do with them. I was out to dinner one night when I saw a woman in the restaurant and half of her arm was missing. So I asked her what happened.

She had seen a man abusing a tiger at the zoo and wanted to help so she stepped in, and the tiger ripped her arm off. I thought to myself, well I have a tiger in a barn back there, so that’s how he came into the story.”

Steve: How do you know when the end of a story has come, and have any of your characters wanted a sequel?

Pat: “I can feel it coming. In my stories people have been through hell and back; it’s time to let them go off into their fictional world.

“When I wrote The Great Santini, I planned to have Ben Meecham be the main character in The Lords of Discipline, then to have Ben go through his life as the main character of several of the books, but after the movie was made, Hollywood would have

owned rights to all those books if Ben was part of them. So I had to change my plan, but it loosened me up.”

Elizabeth: How do you know where to start a book?

Pat: “Usually I don’t. Usually it is fizzling around and it starts with the prologue. When I’m finished with the prologue, I can begin in earnest on the novel.

In The Great Santini it was - why did I hate my father? In The Lords of Discipline - why I hated the plebe system. In The Prince of Tides - why did my sister go crazy?”

After our lovely afternoon I just hugged Pat Conroy, I wanted to thank him with all my heart for all he’s done for literature and the truest art of story telling. Not only are his books exquisite in their mastery, but they have followed the course of his amazing life. I’m hard pressed to choose between the great descriptive language in his novels, and the stories themselves in the collections. If you’ve missed reading any of them, get yourselves to the Pat Conroy at 70 festival, say hello to Pat, buy several of the many author’s books and get them signed! www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October/November 2015

bravado, this will be a celebration of him that he will cherish-secretly, and I will have fun making fun of him for it--but he will cherish every gesture of love. Yet a third part is that I get to be part of it (and perhaps have an excuse to buy a new shirt)...not just because I am published by his imprint (he wrote the forward to my book far before it was taken up by Story River Books), but because he is part of my life.”

About the motivation for her book, Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves, Maggie tells us: “No matter what our faith, how devoted we are to reason, with how much devotion we claim atheism or science or the absurd, for most of us, I think, behind our convictions is a trick wall behind which houses a darkroom where we keep our secret questions, our treasured wonders, mysteries, and that is where they develop, get hung on a wire to fix, whether or not we tend to them. It is where the wonders of

childhood hide in the cross-hatched shadows of our adulthood, and continue to grow, despite our efforts at certainty. These stories came from my darkroom, and, I will be honest, from me peeking in to the darkrooms that belonged to others—sometimes invited, and sometimes out of sheer presumption.”

As you can see, there is every reason to attend this festival, and no reason to miss it. Although the majority of the festival events will be held at USCB, there are some other venues, and the Beaufort History Museum is the site of the festive and final event - the birthday party! The celebration will be a Lowcountry affair, catered by Roland Washington who walked into Beaufort High School in The Water is Wide, and music by Horizon.

Hope to see everyone there! For more information: www. patconroyat70.com

“Once a MARINE, Always a MARINE” MEET CAROLINE FERMIN

C

story by cindy reid

photography by paul nurnberg

aroline Fermin, (Lieutenant Colonel, USMC, Retired ) exemplifies the motto “Once a Marine, always a Marine” through her active duty service and now in her position as Executive Director of the Parris Island Historical and Museum Society, located at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.

Also ‘once a Beaufortonian, always a Beaufortonian,” Caroline has come full circle from her days as a Laurel Bay teenager. On choosing to move here after her military retirement she says, “Although Beaufort has grown immensely, it has not lost the quaintness of a small town.

It still has the charm, and the people are very gracious so it is not surprising that it has won so many accolades. I have been to some of world’s most beautiful places, but the beauty here is indescribable. And it is home.”

Beaufort became home when Caroline’s father, Jim Fermin, who served twenty seven years in the Navy as a Medical Service Corps Officer, was stationed at MCAS Beaufort in 1979. He would go on to serve at Naval Hospital Beaufort and retired at MCRD Parris Island in 1985. After graduating from Battery Creek High School, Caroline attended the University of South Carolina, first in Beaufort and then in Columbia, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She says, “I found psychology really interesting and I wanted to ‘help hurt people’, by becoming a counsellor or therapist.” But after working in the field Caroline decided it wasn’t a perfect fit for her and so she decided to apply her talents in a new endeavour.

Corps and Country Revisiting her desire to serve her country, Caroline waited three years through a USMC recruitment backlog, ultimately joining the USMC in 1988. She was chosen from a highly competitive field to attend the thirteen-week Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Quantico, VA. Being older than her OCS peers was actually a help, because as Caroline says, “I had already had my partying out of

20 October/November 2015 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

my system, so when my peers were headed to DC for the weekend, I stayed in the squad bay -- starching utilities, spit shining boots and getting ready for the coming week.”

While making a decision as to what she would concentrate on in her military career, Caroline’s brother Ralph (also a Marine, now retired) asked her a simple but profound question. Did she want to use her time in the Marines to prepare herself for a job after her service or did she want to “lead Marines.” Caroline says her immediate answer was “Yes I want to lead Marines!” and she chose to concentrate on the field of communications.

Her first duty station was in Okinawa, Japan, where she had previously spent two years as a Program Director for the University of Maryland. When she arrived as a Marine she thought “This is it- and I love it! Due to my time there with the University of Maryland, I was already acclimated to the culture of the country and so was able to hit the ground running. I was ready to be part of a whole.”

Caroline served as a communications officer and adjutant in duty stations at the U.S. Marine Forces Pacific, in Hawaii; at the Marine Corps Recruiting Command, Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, DC; and the U.S. Central Command in Florida. While serving she continually obtained higher education, achieving a Masters in Economics from Johns Hopkins University; a Masters in Military Studies from the Marine Corps Command and Staff College; and a Masters of Strategic Studies from the Marine Corps War College.

While still active duty Caroline married a fellow Marine and started a family. After the birth of her twin sons, she says, “Everyone thought once I had my twins I would get out, but I stayed in. In fact, three days after the twins were born I started my last semester for my masters in economics program. The boys were born on January 4 and I was physically in class on January 6.”

Having a strong family and faith sustained Caroline when she found herself a single parent after her husband left when the boys were only three years old. She says, “I

www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October/November 2015

could not have stayed in the Marines after my husband left if it wasn’t for my mother and very best friend, Deb. They would come stay with the boys; fly to whereever we were, at a moment’s notice. I have been so very blessed by their help over the years, they made so much possible.”

However, a spinal injury, reinjured when her car was rear ended in 2010, resulted in a ten level spine discetomy/fusion and after eleven surgeries, medical retirement from the Marines became an unwelcome reality. “It was my time,” Caroline says of her retirement. “I relied on my faith to show me the next step”.

After her retirement from the Marines, Caroline and sons Caelan and Logan, moved back home to Beaufort. Although her spinal injuries are severe enough to classify her as 100% disabled, Caroline wanted to continue working and contributing to her community.

“Esprit de Corps” The “spirit” of a unit. This spirit is commonly reflected by all members. It implies devotion and loyalty to the Marine Corps, with deep regard for history, traditions and honor.

A conversation with a fellow retired Marine at the Beaufort public library led to her current position as the first Executive Director of the Parris Island Historical and Museum Society.

She says, “I knew this was the perfect job for me, but I was very nervous during the interview process because I had never done anything like this before. Once I accepted the position I enrolled in a master’s program for non profit management because I wanted to possess the tools to be successful, the saying ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’ it is particularly true in this field. “She

22 October/November 2015 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

continues, “I really love this job, the Board of Directors has been extremely supportive of me, and the museum is a treasure. It is an extremely busy and exciting time as we celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.”

Looking around the museum, Caroline says “I love the Marine Corps. It is such a unique organization, very mission orientated, very deliberate and very focused.” She continues, “The camaraderie, the brotherhood, the talented leaders. I feel privileged to be in this position. ” Faith, Family and Football Caroline says, “I am very devout Catholic, and I really do believe things happen for a reason. My retirement brought me back home. My parents live next door and my three brothers live here in Beaufort too. Once a week we all get together, and that’s 23 of us, for a family dinner. We celebrate everything, from the big things to the minor accomplishments!”

Her faith is central to her life and Caroline says “I teach religious education classes (CCD) and am very involved in my church, St. Peter’s Catholic Church.” She is an avid Gamecock fan (season ticket holder), and loves spending time with the newest addition to the family, her 18 month old grandson Matthew.

“I always knew I wanted to serve my country. I wasn’t entirely sold on a career, because I also wanted to get married and have children. I thought I would go to college, have a career and then get married and have a family.” Caroline smiles, “But life worked out a little differently for me, I had a wonderful twenty five year career in the Marine Corps, two amazing sons, a beautiful grandson and I am still working, now on a whole new career!”

Centennial Celebration of the Marine Corps

Recruit Depot, Parris Island D

story by cindy reid

photography by paul nurnberg

id you know over 100 million new Marines have been made right here at Parris island? On Nov. 1, 1915 the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island (MCRD) was designated as a Marine Corps recruit depot, and it has been the birthplace of new Marines ever since. It is the second oldest post in the entire Marine Corps and is the longest continually operating recruit training installation in the corps.

The official centennial is November 1, as that is the first day the base’s mission changed from a detention center to a training depot for Marines. Events celebrating this historic milestone have been occurring since May and will culminate with a slate of activities on October 16 and 17, taking place at MCRD and in the town of Port Royal.

Lowcountry residents are invited to help celebrate, along with the many former and active Marines expected to attend the festivities, as well as the new Marines and their families who will be here for the graduation ceremony for Charlie and Oscar Companies on Friday October 16. The graduation ceremony is also open to the public.

Scheduled events include a 100th anniversary parade and a concert by the Marine Band stationed at 8th & I, the historic Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C. The Parris Island Historical Society will screen a new documentary film: We Make Marines, narrated by Emmy award winning actor Tom Berenger, in various locations, a must see for residents and retired and active duty Marines alike.

“This exciting, commemorative, 56 minute documentary film

26 October/November 2015 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

celebrates 100 years of Marine training on Parris Island, South Carolina. It provides the audience with a historical view of this great institution and highlights the impact that the Marines have on the well being and on the security of the United States.

REMEMBERING OUR VETERANS

O

n December 12, 2015 there will be wreaths laid at Beaufort National Cemetery to honor our veterans.

This is done in conjunction with cemeteries throughout this great nation of ours.

The US Military Vets Motorcycle Club, a National group of veterans from all branches of service, is charged with coordinating this event. There will be an escort from Jacksonboro that morning to the cemetery. The slogan is used, “They fought in it, We ride in it.” The ride honors the fallen, no matter what Mother Nature bestows upon the riders that day. The club meets up with other volunteers from Charleston and surrounding areas, and are given an escort by the Beaufort and Colleton County Sheriff’s Department into the cemetery. Once they arrive at the cemetery, they meet and greet everyone that has joined them for this occasion.

The ceremony starts promptly at noon. After the ceremony, everyone joins in placing the wreaths on the headstones of the brothers and sisters.

Each year they try to raise enough money to cover each

headstone in the cemetery, they have over 20,000 to cover. They take “Wreath Specific” from those who are unable to attend and carry out their request.

They use the slogan of Wreaths Across America “REMEMBER, HONOR and TEACH” – Remember our fallen heroes, honor those who serve and teach our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedom.

In 2014, they placed 2527 wreaths, 300 more than the previous year. This was accomplished with the help of Beaufort Pepsico who gave them a place to unload and store the wreaths Wednesday before the ceremony. On Saturday morning, the wreath loaded Beaufort Pepsico truck, along with 300 motorcycles arrived at Beaufort National Cemetery to begin the wreath presentation and laying ceremony.

Their goal is to cover the entire cemetery……….but THEY need your Help!!! Email waabeaufort@outlook.com for a donation form to sponsor one or more wreath.

PLACES TO VISIT IN Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Isands

HUNTING ISLAND photography by john wollwerth

Don’t grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach. - Michelle Held There’s a campground, with 200 campsites, there’s the lighthouse, and then there’s the beach itself, five glorious miles of it.

You can also check out the Nature Center, walk the marsh boardwalk to see the sunset, or bike (or walk) some eight miles of recently furbished trails. Take a swim, enjoy the sun, commune with nature, get away from it all.

It’s no wonder Hunting Island is one of the most popular getaways in the South and one of South Carolina’s crown jewels.

PARRIS ISLAND photography by paul nurnberg

Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem. - Ronald Reagan They make Marines on Parris Island. A lot of them. An estimated 20,000 recruits are turned into Marines each year at Parris Island, the site of boot camp since 1915. The Marine Corps and the Parris Island Historical and Museum Society are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the training base. Visitors are welcome to check out the Douglas Visitor’s Center, take the Iron Mike Tour and check out the Parris Island Museum. There’s also the Charlesfort-Santa Elena National Historic Landmark, Leatherneck Square and the Iwo Jima Monument. And if you time your visit right, you might be able to watch as young marines graduate from boot camp. But remember, it is a military base and its No. 1 mission is training marines, so go to http://www.mcrdpi.marines.mil for more information about getting on to Parris Island.

DOWNTOWN photography by susan deloach

What is the city but the people? ~William Shakespeare Eclectic, engaging and friendly, Downtown Beaufort is a work of art. Sprawling, vibrant and beautiful, it’s a downtown made to get outside and walk around in, or take a carriage ride through. Dine at a restaurant, smell the salt water and enjoy the breeze at Waterfront Park. Shop and people watch on Bay Street. Admire the historic homes in Old Point and enjoy a place that has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1969, with good reason.

ST. HELENA ISLAND photography by paul nurnberg

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life. - John Burroughs St. Helena Island is famous for its lowcountry beauty and it’s important place in African-American Gullah culture. It inspired the kid’s TV show Gullah-Gullah Island, and it’s been inspiring adults for generations. The Penn Center, where freed slaves were taught to read and write as long ago as 1862, is now a community service center dedicated to preserving the island’s culture. Don’t miss the Chapel of Ease, visit the Lowcountry Store, eat at the Gullah Grub and check out Barefoot Farms.

PORT ROYAL photography by susan deloach

I never ask God to give me anything; I only ask him to put me where things are. - Mexican Proverb Port Royal is where you can find your hearts content, whether it’s nature watching, fishing, shopping, dining or just hanging out in the Old Village. There’s history, too, and visitors can still see such sites as the Proclamation Tree, where on Christmas Day, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was read. The Sands Beach, Lowcountry Estuarium and Cypress Wetlands are a must for those who love coastal wildlife. It may be a small town, but it packs a big punch for visitors looking to sample the lowcountry lifestyle.

LIFE ON THE WATER photography by john wollwerth

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water. - Loren Eiseley There’s a majesty and a mystery to salt water. We live on it, we swim it it, we earn our living from it. We breathe in its very essence. It’s in our blood, and always will be, and it makes us whole. Beaufort is at its heart a maritime town. Beaufort’s people are in their heart maritime people. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Life on the water.

J. S. Doig

RESTORATION story by cindy reid

photography by susan deloach

L

ong ago a furniture maker would likely live over his shop, which might well have been his father’s before it was his. He would have learned from his father, too, or from another craftsman who took him on as an apprentice at a young age. And he would have stayed there, in the place where his ancestors were, and passed on to the next generation what he had himself learned, as part of an old tradition.

John Doig, the man behind J.S. Doig Restoration, seems to have stepped out of that long-ago tradition. He and his wife Carissa live above his shop in the village of Habersham in Beaufort, South Carolina, a place that, while new, seems to belong to an earlier time. He learned his craft the old-fashioned way, from his father, who is a wholesale antiques dealer and “picker,” and sells to retail dealers and at auctions. John’s father often found himself needing to restore the furniture he sold, and started John out early, at the age of 12, waxing furniture in their barn.

Later, he continued the tradition by accepting an accredited apprenticeship.

This was in Litchfield, Connecticut, where John grew up, and this is where his story diverges from the stories of long ago furniture makers, for unlike them, he moved. John likes to fly, which diverges from the lives of earlier craftsmen, and these days he is often in the sky with his wife, who loves to be his copilot. John used to skydive, too, but gave that up after he broke his back and pelvis and shattered a femur in four places.

This accident, which almost took his life, was a deciding factor in John’s future. After his apprenticeship with a Savannah restorer, and after falling in love with the low country, John went back to Connecticut to take advantage of a great opportunity to open his own shop up there. After the accident, he rethought his decision, realizing that “Everyone has an hourglass and you can’t flip it back. You should do what you want to do now.”

So he did.

You can find John’s shop on 24 Market Street in the Habersham Marketplace, and it’s open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday. There, you will see furniture from the

70 October/November 2015 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

18th and early 19th centuries, and John uses the same processes on them that their original makers used. You will also find mid 20th century and even 21st Century pieces, on which John uses the processes appropriate to their times. You will see everything from a 20-year-old credenza to a 1780s Hepplewhite sideboard.

Right now, John has just finished work on a tiger maple Chippendale lowboy, which glows from his touch.

You will also see a ship hull model that was originally used for water testing, to see how that type of hull would cut through the water. Once utilitarian, it is now a decorative object. When asked what is the oldest piece he has ever worked on, John points to a Corinthian helmet that dates back to ca. 430 bc.

John believes that every piece has its place in home and history, and wants to make the dying art of restoration available and affordable to everyone, regardless of its provenance or age.

He winces a little at some of the do-it-yourself results he has seen, and occasionally offers classes at Ollie throughout the year.

Better than that might be a trip to his shop, where you will learn how much more there is to know about the fine art of furniture restoration, when practiced by a nationally recognized master in his field.

Question: Will long-term care insurance pay for professionals to come to my home to help my spouse or children take care of me, or do I have to go to assisted living or a nursing home?

R.L.J. of Bluffton Answer: The majority of claims for long-term care insurance are for home care, not facility care.

People want to stay at home as long as possible and the policies pay for professionals to assist the family with caregiving. In fact, some policies pay family members to step in as well.
