While I am from South Carolina, I did not, unlike Rawdon, attend the University of South Caolina. (If you're interested, my alma mater is a much-loathed private institution in North Carolina.)<BR/><BR/>There was a slight misreading of the map; it is actually USC-Salkehatchie at Walterboro. But to be honest, I don't know the non-coastal Low Country very well; other than going to the beach, I rarely forayed far South of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_West,_South_Carolina" REL="nofollow">Due West</A> or <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety_Six,_South_Carolina" REL="nofollow">Ninety Six</A>.<BR/><BR/>Glad you like the poem, though.Macro Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324967552369915949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34323687.post-76576270823870548732008-01-19T12:15:00.000+00:002008-01-19T12:15:00.000+00:00Reading this bit of excellence, I thought I'd bett...Reading this bit of excellence, I thought I'd better rethink any assumptions I might have had about your alma mater. But I'm left with one doubt...<BR/><BR/>The map found at http://mooreschool.sc.edu/moore/pr/maps/Map1.htm seems to indicate that the Salkehatchie campus is located in a place (this without glasses and early in the day, mind you) called Waterboard.
