father’s DAY
By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer
T
his Father’s Day, The Island News would like to recognize a man who represents the qualities of a first-class dad and one local author (also a dad) who has penned an essay on Fatherhood. And we also want to thank the countless dads in the Lowcountry who make sacrifices daily for their families, and especially those who serve in our U.S. military. David Black is a dad you’re likely to see at all the games, at all the recitals and especially at all the school functions. But he’s also a father who shines when no one is watching. He’s a listener, a friend, a role model, a coach, a teacher and all the things that make a good dad. How can you tell? Take a look at his kids. Both of his children, Shuler and Mills, recently earned superlatives at Beaufort Middle School as “Best All-Around.� See BLACK on page 20

Warley is also the author of the novel “Bethesda’s Child.� Read his essay, “Lingering at the Doors� on page 2.
