12 www.ReadMPM.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasantPodcast.com Our May/June Family Edition offers a myriad of reasons to celebrate the vibrant personalities that add to the allure of the Lowcountry. It proves that a place is only as beautiful as the people who inhabit it. The theme of unity affirms that family values are the moral compass of a community. The cover alone epitomizes the culture of East Cooper. Boating with the family is not a sport or a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. The way of life in the Lowcountry is best described as laid back, slow paced and even keeled. Just like a boat rolls with the waves, it’s best to go with the ebb and flow. Every story in this magazine features an element of family. Whether it’s town accolades or individual promotions, the foundation of these achievements is built on the cornerstones of family. A perfect example is legendary fisherman Wayne Magwood being honored with a memorial statue from the Town of Mount Pleasant due to his impact on the shrimping community. However, the initiative was spearheaded by his daughter Tressy. Her motivation was not only to preserve the family legacy, but to influence and inspire the future generations of shrimpers on Shem Creek and keep the shrimping industry alive and well (See Page 21). Other prime examples of families working together to make their dreams come true are Kick It Kicks (See Page 30) and Local Family Businesses (See Page 42). The adage, “Teamwork makes the dream work” could not be more prevalent within these pages. As you peruse this issue, I hope these family success stories inspire you to better your family name and leave a legacy worthy of remembering. At the end of the day, family is all we have.
