Clyde and Jacque Lynn live at 1^0 Arborvitae Drive, She's Jacque and he's
^®lyde, Clyde is retired military so they have many places in their background including
Japan, Hawaii, Germany and, of course, Vfeshington, D.C\ They decided on this area
beacause they had spent many vacations here—some in Pine Knoll Townes—and came to
love it here.
Another reason for picking this area was so that they would be near their
children and grandchildren, Gil is married and lives with his wife and three children
in Grifton, N, G. Gary will so'on be married and will make his home in Roanoke, Va,
They have all been coming here for years and the grandchildren, particularly, enjoy
Pine Knoll Shores,
Their home is full of the many beautiful paintings Jacque lias done. She has
painted for many years and taught the art at one time. She plans to do lots more of
it while she*s here,
Clyde is a bird lover. He had his martin house up before they had moved in.
Already his pet cardinal knows what time he is coming with the food and waits for him
every day. They both look forward to staying settled in one place, gardening and
working on their place and, eventually, taking up tennis and golf,

The second in our series of glimpses at our Town's motels takes a look at the
Holiday Inn,
The Inn was built in 1973. I't has ll^' sleeping rooms with a ^0% off-season
occupancy, an 8^% occupancy in-season and a year round average occupancy of 6Q%,
It operates a large and attractive restaurant which is open all year. It no
THE longer has efficiency units, having found that their maintenance was unduly
_ Y burdensome. Each of the rooms on the 2nd, 3^ and ^th floors has an ocean
view. The customers of the Inn can enjoy swimming, not only at the beach.
INN but also in the Inn's outdoor pool. Most of the Inn's off-season customers
are business persons, but in-season they are tourists and family vacationers.
The motel is operated (through "Jeff" Fazio, General Manager) by Ti^vco Manage
ment Corp. It, together with three out-of-town individuals, are the owners of the Inn,
Jeff is a very personable young man who seems to be devoted to making his
Holiday Inn one of the finest. He has up-graded the restaurant, provides a training
service for his waitresses and endeavors to make certain that the food is of the best.
He particularly stresses the fact that he has entirely discontinued the lounge, with
its nightly entertainment - a spot which once caused considerable friction with the
Town* The former lounge area has been converted into a meeting and banquet facility
which will accommodate as many as 200 guests.
There used to be problems with persons who were not guests of the motel, parking
in the Inn's parking lots. Jeff now issues stickers to motel patrons for their cars
and he employs security officers to see to it that the Inn's parking areas are reserved
for the Inn*s guests.
Insofar as past difficulties with the Town are concerned, Jeff wants them
forgotten,- He prefers to get on with the business of upgrading the motel and he hopes
to maintain cordial relations with the Town and the townspeople. He says that he "wants
to work with the Town, not against it."
"'Twas a dark and stormy night!" The wind blew hard and the rain came down in
sheets. Most residents of PKS watched the storm from inside their homes on the night
of March 2^th, On such unfriendly nights members of the rescue squad and
fire department hope for silent beepers and no calls for help. However,
the call came - this time for the firemen. A chimney had blown down on
Acorn Court and fire department members responded without hesitation. They
handled the situation quickly and expertly. Wet and cold, these volunteers returned to
