2 www.SullivansIslandMagazine.com | www.SullivansIslandHomes.com Editor’s Note.................................................................................................................................. 5 One of the perks of being the editor of a magazine is the chance to give yourself an assignment you knowwill be interesting. There are numerous interesting things about Sullivan’s Island, of course – but, after preparing the issue in your hands, I’ve realized that the people who live there are the key. Sullivan’s Island Facetime........................................................................................................ 6 Meet your island neighbors: Theresa Luke, John Fradella, Mary Stover and Michael Sigalas. Features We are Sullivan’s Island ..................................................................................................... 9 “Like the people and families that have lived at least as long on Sullivan’s Island, it has earned its character. It was not easy choosing a starting point for this ongoing project. As a portrait photographer, I have a keen interest in the history of my surroundings. It is a great joy to hear the stories and life experiences of the people I photograph and then attempt to share their lives and their stories in my photographs.” Understanding the Past: The Sullivan’s Island Pest House................................15 The hallways of history, however disturbing or intense, deserve careful examination and delicate scrutiny so we can look back and find the truth and look forward with a clearer perspective for the future. Get to the Point: Sullivan’s Island’s Secret Beach..................................................18 On the north end of Sullivan’s Island, washed by the swift-flowing waters of Breach Inlet, lies a secret treasure. Golden and glittering, especially at sunrise, you won’t need a map to find it. It’s not Goldbug Island, made famous by Edgar Allen Poe – it is a gold nugget from nature. A Healthy Addiction..........................................................................................................22 Winter is the perfect time to sit inside, cozy up by a fire and hibernate for months on end – that is, if you don’t live here. We’re lucky to reside in a climate that allows us outdoor activities year-round, and Scott Hyland and his team at Sealand Adventure Sports are here to help you get your fix for, true to their slogan, “a healthy addiction.” Glass Half Full: Austin Norvell........................................................................................23 Beneath dust and debris, objects of the past call to the thrifter and drifter in all of us. It’s the reason we pull over for a yard sale or comb through shelves of milk glass and vinyl at our local second-hand store. For artist Austin Norvell, remnants of yesteryear are just one of his many muses.
