Politicians, television personalities and other dignitaries will trade in their business suits and work clothes for a waiter's apron for a special benefit for the S.C. School for the Deaf and the Blind to be held at the Lakeview Club. Club members restore old cars to former glory Turn off Lakeview Boulevard onto Old Camden Road, then make a quick right to the tranquil home of Jack and Vivian Sowell. A small statue keeps watch over a burst of azaleas in the front yard, and in the back, well-tended plots send new shoots reaching for the early spring sun. It's a perfect place, you might think, for a group of friends to get together for a meal, a few laughs, and some talk about a hobby they all share. And that's exactly what happens the first Monday of every month, when members of the Sandhills Classic Car Club arrive for their monthly meeting.
Some days are sunny, others are cloudy.
And some are just downright horrendous. Those really bad days are the ones that catch us off guard because they come out of nowhere. Edna Sims' life was sunny with occasional clouds leading up to that horrendous day in November 2000 when she went for her annual physical, starting with a mammogram on Nov. 4. She was told on Nov. 7 that she had breast cancer. A 3 p.m. matinee is planned for Sunday, April 8.
