Folly Beach...THE EDGE OF AMERICA |
|
If we couldn't find Jeff...we would first look here! |
Jeff's favorite adult beverage. |
|
He blamed everything on Olympia w/ a laugh...."its the water!" |
Jeff popularized "Its the Water" all over Folly ! |
|
T-Shirts bearing "Its the Water were sold here!" |
It was unusual to see Jeff on Folly Beach without one of his girls. For the most part...you
would not see Jeff without Maggie. He started taking Tim's pup Maggie to the beach before she even got her
sea legs. Jeff was always hanging with the ladies. Whether he was walking Maggie (The Bud) on an afternoon
or entertaining the Folly girls! He could charm them all. If it wasn't a work day...it was beach...chilin
with pals...and ending at Robinson Caruso's (Where it is always Friday!)
On your next trip to Folly Beach, rub your toes in the sand, walk the sidewalks and remember
Jeff and his love for "Mayberry by the sea!"

Favorite afternoon activity...Friends, Fishing & the Water! |
Before the end of 1992, Jeff had the entire island blaming it on "The Water."
Olympia Beer's slogan is "Its the water." Somehow Jeff could explain anything away by simply raising a cold one,
giving a big toothy smile, looking out at the beach and saying "Its the Water!"
Soon everyone was using "The Water"/Olympia as an excuse for "whatever" all over
the island of Folly and in mainland Charleston. A friend and artist, Moondog, made up T-shirts with an "It's the
Water" slogan for Jeff and everyone had to have one. This was just one of the T-shirts soley or partially inspired
by Jeff's whacky quotes.
He was in on another prank for Tim...This time the t-shirt had a drawing of Tim
in a laundry basket and said "Do me do my laundry." Another of Jeff's quotes, in amage to his idol of the
moment; Jim Morrison, was "in through the out door." A T-shirt was also born of this one...this time with Jeff's "ornament"
on front!

Might have been "Jeff's dream pumpkin!" |
|
Jeff & Tim were "the men" surrounded by the ladies |
|
Jeff passed the reigns of taking care of the girls to Tim when he left the beach! |
Friends kept coming to visit Charleston and Folly. |
|
Beth pictured here with KaRon on Folly decided that she loved it enough to make it home! |
