Collins Doughtie: Island Life – Beaufort County in the 60’s
Source: Island Packet
Collins Doughtie was an original Islander since 1961 — his family’s house was the 8th house in Sea Pines. With only dirt roads, he had an incredible childhood — one that he’ll share with us during this talk. Collins attended elementary school in Bluffton until the school burned down. From then on, he had to commute to school in Savannah every day.
Collins is an an avid fisherman and outdoorsman and had an advertising agency for over 35 years. He often fishes and hunts before going to work. He was an outdoor writer for the Island Packet for 13 years and now writes for Bluffton/ Hilton Head Sun newspaper. Learn about growing up in the Lowcountry in the 1960s with Collins.
