Dedication is a big word in Pine Knoll Shores th^sedays. One of those
dedicated, probably with the biggest capital ”D** (besides the commissioners
, whose ;iniddle names must all be ’’Dedicated”) Is 31 BEZUYEN, recently retired
accountant, living on Yucca Court just since early Summer. SI was persuaded
to dive Into the task of getting all the tax records from the county Into
tax boo^s of our own. For several days relays of volunteers gathered at
SI and Minnie’s House to «opy numbers out of one book Into another. This
ambitious group saved the new town a large hunk of money, and apparently
had some happy "getting to know you” hours besides. They Included Louise
Aponyok, Irma Brossman, Mary Doll, K3n Haller, EvelynKlncald, Cres Yaeck,
Newell Haller, Muriel Weis, and Gert Warner,
