Hello all, I had hoped to come to the Reunion, but it does not look like I will make it. After BCC I went to the University of South Carolina and upon graduation went to work in the campaign of former Governor Fritz Hollings as he ran for the United States Senate. We won and I went to Washington as a legilative aide for four years, returning to USC for Law School with a wife and child. During law school I worked for the Senator and upon graduation ran his re-election campaign in 1974. Then I move to Greenville, SC, opened my law practice and have been practicing for close to 40 years. I have two married children and three wonderful grandchildren, 2 girls and a boy.

Over the years in my spare time I managed or assisted with numerous political campaigns for City Council, County Council, State House, State Senate, Lt. Governor and Governor. In 2004, I managed the NBC/SC Democratic Party Presidential Debate in Greenville and in 2008 the one held at SC State University. I am now retired from politics and look forward to doing something other than practicing law in the next couple of years.

I hope you all have a great time. Sorry I missed seeing so many of my old friends. I look forward to pictures on the web. --Doug Dent
