The Shoolbred
Grave Site is
tucked off the
road in Rhett’s
Bluff.
What’s the most recent book you read and enjoyed?
Or a podcast you listen to?
Although not the most recent book I have read,
one that stuck with me is I am Pilgrim by Terry
Hayes. Initially, my husband read it and gave it
to me and now both my son and daughter have
read it as well. We all really enjoyed it.
I listen to The Drink Culture podcast out of
Indianapolis. My daughter is a part of the team
that produces it each week.
You live in Rhett’s Bluff, which is such a beautiful
part of the island. What makes that neighborhood
special?
I love Rhett’s Bluff - it’s secluded and quiet,
surrounded by water, and Dave and I have
wonderful neighbors. We can watch the dolphins
strand feed from our back deck and walk over to
the boat dock for sunsets.
There’s also history here. We have a cemetery
containing the graves of Mary and James

Shoolbred, who owned half of Kiawah from
1797-1841.
Besides attending KICA board meetings (obviously!),
what’s one thing you recommend other members
try on the island at least once?
I’d recommend joining one of our many social
clubs. I’m a member of the Garden Club, Art’s,
Etc., and the Kiawah Women’s Group. There are
too many clubs and activities to name - various
book clubs, mahjong groups, biking, etc. It’s a
great way to meet people while doing something
you enjoy.
What is your favorite thing about Kiawah?
My children have spent their entire lives visiting,
or living on Kiawah. Now that my husband and
I are living here full time, Kiawah has become a
very special gathering place for our family and
many of our closest friends that we met through
our children. My favorite part of Kiawah is
sharing it and making memories with so many
people that I love.
