HEW NEIGHBORS
Nev; on Holly Road are VIRGINIA and FR/\.NK PHILLIPS from Fairmont, VJest Virginia*
Frank v;as in sales, most recently in feed and brokerage* They have vacation
ed here for years and had a lot ten or tv/elve years ago. Their house is
back in the woods, but already they have a row of tomato plants* They have
two children, a son in Durham and a daughter now in Chicago but soon moving
to Norfolk with her husband who is a naval commander. Virginia likes music
and plays bridge. Frank fisheso
Also on Holly are EVELYN and TED hcCORD with their tv;elve year old son Charles^
They lived in Huntersville north of Charlotte, but Evelyn was from Haysville,
and for tv/enty-five years they vacationed in Atlantic Beach area, so they are
really familiar v;ith the area. Back in Huntersville they ov/ned a shoe busi
ness and they are hoping to get into something here, but right at the moment
they are busy settling into their new home, Evelyn plays bridge and enjoys
getting involved in things which challenge her. Their daughter, Cathi, is
a language major taking French in a college in Quebecc She is also a
talented pianist who is playing professionally this summer, and Charles plays
the drums.
Around the corner on Oakleaf are riARTY and RAY HARE, Ray retired after more
than tv/enty years on the IJhite House Staff, Before that he was a member of
the Secret Service. Marty tells us they chose Pine Knoll Shores after two
years of looking all up and dov/n the coast. They wanted to be close to the
ocean but not on it; they v/anted a vievj of the water; and they wanted trees,
and this v/as the ansv/er. liarty likes to garden, and they both enjoy surf
fishing.
On Hawthorne just off Oakleaf are SHELLI and STANLEY LIVINGSTON and their
daughters LISA (I3) and CATHY (lO). He is a Marine Corps Captain stationed
with Marine Aircraft Group -1^ at Cherry Point, He has been v;ith the Marines
for ten years, the last four to five years in Okinawa. Shelli does Japanese
flower arrangements and would be interested in teaching it. She would also
like to teach macrame. Family hobbies include scuba diving, fishing, boat
ing, bicycling, flower arranging, arid cooking, and they do things as a family,
so if you see four people pedaling along on shining new bicycles,' it is
probably the Livingstons. They are natives of California, but they plan to
settle in PKS and perhaps even start a restaurant in Atlantic Beach.
DOT and EARL HOLT now own a condominium in Pine Knoll Tov/nes. They come
from Burlington where Earl is with Burlington Industries. Although their
main residence is in Burlington, Dot v/ill be here v/hen he travels on business,
and they both are here for frequent vacations, Earl likes to fish, both in
the surf and in the Sound. He plays golf and she plays bridge.
