Pat Conroy was an author who grew up in South
Carolina.His works were influenced by his life and
experiences which occurred from when he was young to
the present time. He attended Beaufred High School
with a good buddy,Bruce Harper. They did many things
together from playing golf to swimming.
It seemed as though he was very close to his
mother,Peggy as he talked about her much more than he
mentioned his father. He told about things she enjoyed
such as living near the shore to collect seashells and her
fear of hurricanes.She was not much into socializing with
other people,but never felt isolated due to the flow of
humanity which occurred at the golf course they lived
next to.
Pat’s first trip to Fripp Island, on the shoulder of
the Atlantic Ocean, was during the summer of his 15th
year. Marine Kernel and his son took him on a fishing trip
there. Pat’s mother died in 1984 while living in Fripp. The
views of the sea, waves,and light all symbolized his
mother. He felt that nature was a way of approaching
god.He bought a house on the lagoon to observe wildlife
which influenced his writing.He wrote about the salty
marsh, the beach, and animals. He always tries to inhabit
the soul of things before writing about them and as a
result the way he has lived pays off in his success today.
