When I was a kid I caught glimpses of the movie, The Prince of Tides. I was mesmerized. Later in high school I discovered it was a novel and read it shortly after. That book, as a writer and Southerner myself, inspired me greatly. Pat Conroy's words melted in my mouth like butter. Such an amazing writer and I am definitely going to read all his works. I just now found out that he died, so upsetting, he was so young. But he left such a legacy behind and I am very grateful for that. Pat, you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace dear one.

Thank you for such a heartfelt message. We move Pat's site to a new technology and can no longer use the old Guest Book. That had thousands of records and I knew Pat use to read it... He drew strength from his readers' acceptance and support.
