Seventeen years ago, I received a phone call from a lady wanting to talk to me about purchasing some of my pictures.
When I asked her where they were planning to hang them, she said Dr. Barrett, Arlauska and Segerberg's office in the Brunswick Hospital.
I told her a majority of my pict ures were taken in the swamp of the Okefenokee or around the Satilla River. I added I didn't have many at all from the coast.
She said they were not looking for coast pictures. She wanted me to come meet with them and show some of what I had.
I figured, what the heck. I picked out a variety of different pictures and took them over.
Cindy Clyde Jones was the lady I talked to the most. She picked out about 15 pictures they really liked and purchased from me.
They put six huge pictures of trees on the Satilla River in the waiting room. The other pictures are scattered in the back rooms.
One day last week, Bonnie had a procedure at the Brunswick Hospital. A lady walked up to me while I was sitting in the waiting room and called me by my name.
I looked up and it was Cindy. I had not seen her in several years. She said she still gets pleasure from seeing people who are sitting in the waiting room, looking at my pictures, and commenting on them.
I have told them before I feel like I have better pictures now after all of these years, and maybe it’s time to change some of them out.
She does not think so. They still like what they have.
