Did you know Howie Vidal at Amity, btw? He was related to Gore, who died
the other day.

---------------------------------------

Drawing a blank. I seem to remember a girl ... Evie Vidal .... but she was 2 or 3 years
behind me ... closer to my sister's age and class.

I only attended Amity for one year .... when I attended that is ....


Howe had a sister but I don't recall her name.

Mount Pleasant is a great place. If you son doesn't know about it,

tell

him to go to The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene, or as the locals

call it, The Wreck. There is no sign on the place, but once you find

it,

it's the best seafood in all of Charleston.



-------------------------------------



I think you mentioned "The Wreck" in an earlier post and I mentioned

it in

an e-mail to my son. He knows exactly where it is and is going to

try it

(may have already).



They just moved down there in early July. He's been scouting the area

out and so far they love it. A little hot, but they'll get used to

it.


In downtown Charleston, Hank's and Coast are two good restaraunts. We have reservations at both this weekend. My wife loves the Seafood ala Wando at Hank's. But there are lots more places to try.

If the Wreck was open for lunch we'd go there too, but they're a dinner only place.


The most memorable restaurant I went to in Charleston was named SNOB. I
liked the name and we had a very nice dinner there.

I've been to some very nice places in every state you mentioned.


Every state has "some nice places," but I wasn't taking about beaches,
scenic overlooks, museums or other natural or manmade venues. I was
talking about where right-wing craziness rules the roost and is
encouraged.

I like coastal South Carolina.

--------------------------------------------------------------

My oldest son just moved his family from MA to Mount Pleasant, SC.
Beautiful place, within a few miles of the Isle of Palms Marina; one
of my stops when taking the Navigator south to Jupiter, FL.

He's been emailing pictures of several local marinas with slips for
sale. Seriously thinking of another boat down there in about a year.
Just need to talk Mrs.E. out of her horses.


My sister lived in Mount Pleasant for about 5 years. Her neighborhood
was always concerned about their dogs and cats coming home as well as
their children. The pond in their development had some alligators.

I hope your son's kids are in private school.

Back to that 'Larry' guy. looks like a post of mine didn't make it
from yesterday.
My memories of Larry are..
he was very proud of his hometown (Charlston?) and only too happy to
offer advice to visitors.
he repaired church organs for a living
he drove an older Mercedes diesel sedan that he converted to burn used
frying oil that he collected from local restaurants
he worked his way onto a rich mans yacht with his electronics talents
and general handyman skills... probably learned in his navy days
he never forgave the Israelies for shooting up an American destroyer
during one of the wars over there.
