As often I say, it is enlightening to see the South from a non-Southerner’s perspective. Mainly, it reminds me that what is normal for us is sometimes out-of-the-ordinary for them. It was one of those beautiful days on the coast when the waves sang in perfect harmony of gentle rolling notes, the sun was bright and the temperature mild. I was on St. Simons Island, Georgia, having lunch with a friend, Bud St. Pierre, who is the Marketing Director for the historic King and Prince Hotel. We were watching a large freighter as it sailed away, guided by a tiny tugboat, from the nearby Brunswick port which is over two centuries old. George Washington declared the Brunswick port as one of the five original port of entries for the 13 colonies.
