P & R Medical now has photograph cards

P & R Medical Connection recently became the exclusive retail store in Van Wert and surrounding area for original Larry Dove Photography photo cards.

In considering this venture, a big part of the idea behind it was getting back to the basics, says Ginger Rahrig, P & R Medical Connection store manager.

“Nothing cheers up a person more than getting a card in the mail,” Rahrig said. “Since technology has taken over the majority of communication, we as a society need a little pick me up now and then.”

These inexpensive, original, high quality photo cards can do just that! Caregivers, family members and patients alike can benefit from someone taking the time to choose and send one of these original photo cards to lift their spirits.

“These well chosen verses are simple yet sincere and many are blank so you can write what you want inside,” Rahrig noted.

Dove, now a Van Wert resident, was born and raised in the Auburn, Ind., area. He became interested in photography over 35 years ago while serving with the U.S. Air Force in Southeast Asia. Upon his return to Indiana, he became involved in wedding and family photography.

With the technology of digital photography, Dove’s focus shifted to nature, scenery and, due to his roots in Auburn, vintage classic cars.

As this month wraps up Breast cancer Awareness attention, local residents may know someone who is a survivor, or just starting their fight with illness to become one, who could use a card!
