About the Author
Lenore Savage brought this wonderful event to the museum many years ago. We lost Lenore last summer. My husband Don & I helped Lenore and friends get ready for this event for the past 3 years. The Low Country shrimp boil just won’t be the same without our sweet Lenore. I for one would like to see the Shrimp boil renamed to The Lenore Savage Memorial Low Country Shrimp Boil.
I totally agree with Deborah, it should be named “The Lenore Savage Memorial Low Country Shrimp Boil”. A fitting tribute to a fine soul who is truly missed.
We agree as well. We helped Lenore a few years ago as well. She is truly missed.
