Quotes by Hunter Shea

When people did stupid things around him, that was usually the last thing they did.

You want to lay yourself out like an appetizer, go ahead.

Back in the 1800s, Ormsby Island was one of South Carolinas crown jewels. The island was owned by Maxwell Ormsby, a very wealthy man who liked to entertain everyone from heads of state to artists and authors and anyone who knew how to make money in business. An invitation to the island was a declaration that you were someone on the move. Once a year, Ormsby opened the island up to the public and hosted a huge fair. It was the social event of the year in these parts. My family still talks about the days when my great grandmother would take the family out to enjoy the festivities. It must have been some party.
