11 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com With Mother’s Day in May and Father’s Day in June, we’ve called this our Family Edition. Mount Pleasant is familyfriendly, which is one of the things that make our community what it is. In fact, one of the reasons our town was able to secure a third All-American City Award, the only city in South Carolina to achieve this milestone is because the town clearly illustrated how Mount Pleasant embraces all families, including ones with special needs both young and old. When you look at our front cover and think of the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words,” With my grandk ids lef t to right Lucas, Liza and Liam. photographer Mark Staff’s image says family loud and clear. Behind the image is a great story of a true Mount Pleasant family. Everyone in the Toole family was born and raised here. Scott Toole and Anne Shuler have known each other since grade school and have been married for 15 years. The roots of the Toole and Shuler families are spread throughout East Cooper. For example, Scott’s mom taught Anne’s brother Mike Shuler. Mike now owns multiple local marinas and boat clubs including the Isle of Palms Boat Club, who was nice enough to provide us the boat for our front cover. Read about the next generation, as these local family roots continue to grow. Read a story from our youngest contributing writer Sophie Rose, who interviewed William and Kathleen Marie having fun with their parents on the boat. Family is important in Mount Pleasant and we know it’s important to our readers. We hope you enjoy our Family Edition and well wishes to all of the great East Cooper Moms and Dads, may y’all be celebrated today and every day.
