From the Artist

Fall SOS 2013 I’d like to dedicate my Fall SOS 2013 print to my husband, Milford Powell. Because without him there would not have been a Spring SOS 2013 print, a fall SOS 2013 print or any future prints. He will not admit it but he saved my life on Tues. February 19th of this year. Many of you may recall on that morning I went to a surgery center for facial laser contouring and an eye lift. Well, okay, vanity is my name! Something went very wrong when they put me under general anesthesia. The surgery was canceled and I ended up in the Grand Strand ER. My blood pressure was barely detectable and I was having respiratory distress. Milford was told to call in the family as the five doctors working on me did not expect me to survive. The doctors asked him how long he wanted me on life support. He told them to keep me on it as long as I had brain activity. I don’t recall much that went on as I was mostly unconscious. Everyone left the room except Milford. I won’t bore you with the details of how he saved me. He can tell you all about it when you visit him at Pirate’s Cove. I spent several days in the CVICU. He never left my side until the nurses ran him out! He and my daughters took turns staying with me at night so I would not be alone while in GSRH. But this print is not about me. It’s about him. See the window above the marque in the print. Well, when Milford was 13 years old he ran the movie projector from 1953 to 1959 in that projection room. Back then it was called “The Ocean Drive Theater”. Today the building still stands on Main Street. Now it is “Georgio’s Famous Pizza”. Hope you enjoy this fall’s print which is very nostalgic and special to me. So Milford Powell, I love you with all my heart. And it beats today because of you! Becky Stowe
