What makes your dad extra special?

My dad took us every year to Myrtle Beach for vacation back in the 60s and 70s. We camped in a tent and I have so many fond memories of these days. Now I have a condo at North Myrtle and I have a wall dedicated to pictures of our family in the 60s at the beach. Such great memories!!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

My dad and mom always took us to Myrtle Beach as we were growing up in the 60s and 70s. We have so many great family memories of camping and spending time at the beach. My husband and I brought our children here annually as well. Now I have a condo at north myrtle and we are loving making memories with our grands.

Happy Father’s Day to Clayborn Edward Fink, and thank you for all you do!
