Chloe resident Sonny Lowers, 62, is recovering from a heart attack and open
heart surgery. Lowers was taken to Charleston Memorial Hospital on July 6
by Calhoun EMS suffering from numbness and chest pain. Physicians said he
had a heart attack.
Lowers is one of the Upper West Fork VFD's busiest volunteers, a guy that
always shows up to help. He had responded to several emergency calls
shortly before his heart attack.
Family members report he is improving after five bypasses. He is expected
to be discharged from Charleston Memorial this week.
Lowers is one of the principal organizers of the fire department's annual
bluegrass festival August 9 through 11. The UWVFD event is rapidly
becoming one of Calhoun's biggest summer attractions, with bluegrass fans
coming in from all parts of the country for the music and fireworks.
