Johnny Bloodworth
We Southerners are more a product of our place and time, than other aspects of our being,” said Johnny Bloodworth. “I am a story teller, and when I tell a story about us, I need to connect the narrative to place and time..”
Johnny has roots in Georgia, but South Carolina has been his home for more than sixty years. His places are Columbia where he worked and the Cedar Creek community near Blythewood where he and his wife Sandra have lived for 45 years. He says he could keep a job, but his work life has included teaching, coaching football and track, government service, and mortgage banking.
He says, “Before Gift, my story telling was oral and consisted of turning an incident or a joke into a tale about friends or family. Gift added discipline to the creative process. But it paid off. Gift has been extremely well received.
