Wonderful writer. RIP
Finally - the island is Fripp Island - one of thousands off SC..That is where I read that Pat Conroy lived.
Fripp Island is a 6.546 sq mi (16.954 km²) barrier island located along the Atlantic coast of the low country part of South Carolina. It is approximately 21 miles from Beaufort, 96 miles south of Charleston, and 65 miles north of Savannah, Georgia. Some of the neighboring islands include Hunting Island, St. Helena Island, and Lady’s Island. The island mostly serves as a residential vacation resort, but several hundred residents make it their permanent home. It is also the most seaward of the South Carolina Sea Islands. Fripp is renowned for its resort amenities and natural conservation.
Fascinating. Thanks for posting that link.
Talented fella. RIP.
