Everyone in the world loves modern Italian furniture," Dr. Anna says. Prior to joining 1 Contemporary Furniture Dr. Anna Milostanova was a Russian gynecologist in charge of the surgery department at hospital N27 in the Ukraine. "I grew up in the Russian city of Kharkov, a large city of 1,400,000, part of the former Soviet Union, located in modern day Ukraine. My grandfather was the famous surgeon of Stalingrad who saved many lives under extreme circumstances during WWII," she says. Capt.

"1 Contemporary Furniture remains committed to North Carolina furniture, although much of our furniture comes from Italy, Canada, and other regions of the United States. North Carolina has the largest international furniture market in the world. Some consumers think they can go to directly to the furniture market and purchase. Wholesale furniture markets are not open to the public," Capt. Gill says.

We support Protect Patients Now, doctors for medical liability reform. "Just minutes from our Contemporary Furniture Showroom there are over 800 islands to explore. The only island people know about is Hilton Head Island because of the extraordinary golf. And of course people know historic Savannah, GA. The whole area is rich in water sports like salt water fishing. Shark fishing is one of my favorites. Shark is good to eat," says Capt. Gill. "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to live on an island by the sea. I am learning. As a Russian and American I love Russian furniture which is to most Russian and Indian people means Italian furniture. Sharks are interesting to medicine because the shark is one of few species on earth that does not develope cancer. If we kill all the sharks we may be killing the cure," Dr. Anna says. The baby sand shark (photo above) was returned to the sea immediatly in excellent health. "Never kill anything unless you intend to eat it. Too many sharks are being killed today. Sharks are very important to the environment because they are scavengers that keep the ocean clean. We must protect the sea because it is a vital source of food for all mankind world-wide," Capt. Fisher says. We support South Carolina Wildlife Law Enforcement Officers.
