Joan Perry deserves a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. She seems to live for making the world a better place- from occasionally giving me joggling board photos to her endless hospital outreach programs to "church photos in lieu of attendance" shots to promoting a Charleston nonprofit that makes inexpensive but highly effective water filtration systems, dozens of which have been sent to Haiti.
Here's a link to her explaining the latter for a Mutual of Omaha ad series.
Perry's a Canadian who grew up in India and finally washed up in Charleston. She enriches the life of this state in more ways than probably any of us can imagine.
One of my grandfather's cousins was a potter the state of North Carolina declared a state treasure. South Carolina should do the same for Ms. Perry.It's the rare site you look up every day and know it's going to make you smile- without featuring kittens.
I hope one day to sit on a joggling board with her and have a long visit.
Hear! Hear!
