T -2- Not all Pine Knoll Shores residents come from places outside Carteret County. Nettie Murrill, for one, was born just across the Sound in Morehead City, and her parents lived on Shackleford Banks when that now-deserted island was still inhabited. Nettie's father ran the Sprigtail, the boat which Mrs. Hoffman who owned all our community bought from him, William Murrill came from Onslow County but has lived in this area for fifty years. Both he and Nettie remember when there was no bridge to Bogue Banks and excursion boats ran from Morehead City bringing vacationers to the pavilion and bathhouse for a day at the beach. Nettie and William Murrill built their home in Pine Knoll Shores in 1963, one of the first homes in Pine Knoll Shores. Both of the Murrills can tell count less stories about Bogue Banks, enough to fill a book. YOU BELIEVE that PKS is a retirement community? That everyone here had just turned 65? Some of us went to a baby shower the other day over on Loblolly. We'd bet the ages ranged from 25 to 65 (nobody, of course, ever gets over 65 -- it's kind of like the Jack Benny 39 syndrome.) ****'>XHE FIGHT AGAINST LITTERING goes on. One West Carteret High School student who walks half a mile from the bus to her home in PKS each afternoon has taken to picking up the empty bottles and cans on her way. By the time she reaches her house, she smells like a brewery and her books are almost toppling to the ground, but she has brightened at least the way between Salter Path Road and her garbage can. We've been picking up stuff on the beach, too. Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with the litter mess? RECENTLY MOVED IN RESIDENTS: The Emmersons on Loblolly and the Youngbloods on White Ash. JUST MOVED: The Hallers whose new home is built where Mrs. Hoffman's house once stood. Part of the founda tion of her house is incorporated in their terrace. We'll see you, we trust, at the PKS cocktail party on June 9th. Meanwhile, send your gems, your good grey printables, to either Mary Doll on White Ash, Route 1, Pine Knoll Shores, Morehead City, N. C., or Betty Hammon on Oakleaf, Route 1, Pine Knoll Shores, Morehead City N. Co We'll take the blame for this initial printing, but we hope the ones to follow will be filled with lots of everyone's thoughts. We are currently compiling a list of all residents, including addresses and phone numbers. In addition, we will send you a list of non-residents as well. This list should accompany our next newsletter. You non-residents, Yill hurry on down. It's a terrific new way of life I
