Patricia Long Watts
Patricia Long Watts, originally a Georgia peach from Augusta, transplanted to South Carolina in 1977 as a Registered Nurse in the Trauma Center at Richland Memorial Hospital. With degrees from DeKalb College of Nursing in Decatur, Georgia and from the University of South Carolina, her career résumé is a true saga of the rise of women in the business world. In 1985 she was named Outstanding Woman in Industry by the State of South Carolina. She incorporated and managed two successful businesses - one being an up-scale Salon and Day Spa, the other being the first company to design Mobile Nuclear Waste Characterization Units for the US Nuclear Industry. Currently she has designed and is building a commercial Boarding Kennel in Gilbert, SC.

Pat is active in her Church, Duck's Unlimited and sporting events which showcase her Boykin Spaniels. Hobbies include travel, upland hunting, reading, lake life and spending time with her three grandchildren.

Pat's son, Donnie, wife Karen and three grandchildren reside in Lexington, South Carolina. Her extended family lives in Augusta, Georgia. Her ex-husband, Don Watts, was the Senior VP and Chief Operating Officer of the International Game Fish Association in Dania, Florida. Currently, he is a regional manager with Bass Pro .

Hollow Creek Kennel currently houses Pat's wonderful Boykin Spaniels, including several hunting, conformation and champions. Pat and her Boykins hunt and compete regularly. It's a Family Tradition. :-)
