Dear Family and Friends,

Looks like we will have favorable weather for our Celebration of Nora’s Life. I understand there are still rooms (Baymont Inn and Suites, Yemassee, SC (10 minutes away), 1-866-235-8098) blocked under Hampton Rutledge.

I know some of you would like to say a few words about Nora while everyone is gathered. Just left me know. Also, a few asked about “dress.” This is an oyster roast. This is really rural Ridgeland. This is Nora’s celebration. If you would like to get oyster juice stains on your good clothes, I have no objection. However, I’ll be wearing jeans or shorts (weather dependent).

A slight warning. Our yard is filled with nuts (I did not say “will be,” I mean it really is right now). Ultra-soft-soled shoes are not advised.

What else? I want to thank you all again for your kind thoughts and prayers for my family. I would also like you to take a moment to remember the father of my friend and partner, Steve Anderson, who lost his father last Sunday. Peace be with you, Steve.

So here’s how to get to “The Ridge.” Please, if you have ANY questions, call or text me (843-816-0904). Directions and maps follow.
