FROM CHAIRMAN of the Florence Symphony to Florence County Progress chair to physician to a leader at the American Medical Association, I have done a lot in Florence since 1980. Our family was born in Florence and raised in Florence and one son has a business in Florence.

“Florence, South Carolina, is our Home.”

—from the Preface

I first met Steve Imbeau when he was my membership chair of the local economic development group. . . . Once I was mayor, a small group of us traveled to Switzerland to meet with Hoffman la Roche executives and local Basel officials yearly for about seven years. Steve was an important part of the group with medical expertise, but also a flair for adventure, fascination with history, communication skills, and a gift for managing our finances. When he began writing newspaper articles in 2013, I was surprised to discover he had unearthed another talent. I love his articles.

FRANK WILLIS,

former mayor of Florence, South Carolina

Steve Imbeau’s writing is well worth the read. He is an engaging and clever author. He writes with a southern tone and entertains you as he educates you. I highly recommend his work and this great book that you will enjoy and reread over and over again.

E. C. IRVIN,

MD, MBA, FAAFP, and author of Physicians Should Talk

In my profession, I read many things because I’m obligated to do so; I read Steve’s articles because I find them enlightening and entertaining. He’s a gifted author with a distinctive talent for blending the conceptual with the practical.

LUTHER F. CARTER,

PhD, president of Francis Marion University
