I met Pat at the Smithsonian Institute years ago when he was on tour for Beach Music. I was lulled by his wonderful voice and soothed by his magical words. Then years later, close to retirement and looking for a beach town where to live, I found Beaufort and discovered Pat lived and loved this small town and his people. So, here I am, breathing the wonderful air, walking the same beach, living the lowcountry life that Pat so much loved and immortalized in his stories. So thank you Pat.

Indeed Pat did this to many people; he must be "responsible" for quite some new Beaufortonians.
