Carolyn Corley Clark -- a cartoonist at age five, a writer and ilustrator of original stories at eight, speech writer at eleven and prize-winning short story writer at sixteen.When she graduated from The University of North Carolina in 1957, her Phi Beta Kappa induction topped sixteen years of straight A's, and she excelled as a radio personality before her twenty-second birthday. After marriage, Carolyn put her broadcasting career on hold to raise a family. Eventually she resumed her career, writing advertising copy for newspapers and direct mail and informercials for television, all in major markets. Later, she not only wrote advertising copy for a fine jewelry store operated by her and her husband, she also used her artistic skills to become a jewelry designer, both for clients and for sale in their store. In her seventies, she fulfilled a life-long dream to become a tour guide in historic Beaufort, South Carolina, where she retired with her husband. She wrote her own script and made period dresses to wear.
