<strong></strong>Coosaw Point resident Mike Abendshein celebrated his 60th birthday at the Coosaw Point Clubhouse Saturday night. His wife, Carla hosted the party with her two daughters, Angela and Rachel. Both Angela (traveling from Pittsburgh) and Mike’s best friend from Pawley’s Island, Rob Beglin, made surprise visits. And, Abendshein, the avid fisherman, received a surprise chartered trip to the Chandeleur Islands in Louisiana with Beglin. Irene Goodnight played to a room full of festive friends to toast another decade in Abendshein’s life. Happy Birthday Mike. HYAU!
