About Douglas

Personal Background Doug Martin came to South Carolina in 1969. What he discovered was a wonderful southern way of life. He had just completed three years in the U.S. Army which had followed college graduation in Virginia. The words he saw on a bumper sticker that were later to become the South Carolina state license plate slogan "Smiling Faces and Beautiful Places" well described this new home with the charming southern life style.
