I have one question, my mother started a story, but never finished, about a trip to Hilton Head Island as a young girl. This was before 1920. In her story she refers to a boat ride to the island and her adventures aboard that boat. Her notes are very fragmented; I guess
My question is would you like to have these notes?

Mr. Wiggins, If you would like to give your mom's notes to the Gullah Museum, I would like to have them. We might be able to connect her story to life on Hilton head Island before the bridge.

Thanks soo much for your willingness to share!
Peace and blessings,
Louise M. Cohen
