Their three children, Steve, Jay and JoAnn are still in the Washington area. It's
not so far away that they cannot see them often.
Whereas they enjoy the beach and all it has to offer and Sara enjoys her needlework,
they are both looking forward to finding new things to do. All this free time will not be
wasted,

Some very trashy folks have gotten Winston Seale upset, Winston, who does such a
top-notch job of directing operations at the PKS Situm, says the trashy characters men-
„ tioned have been bundling up their household garbage in plastic bags and
™- depositing it in the trash cans at the Situm, This places an unnecessary
*N burden on Winston's helpers who have to tote the garbage out to the street
for the garbage truck to pick up, Winston says if it were garbage picked up
-AT. on the beach he would be the first to applaud, but that the garbage he is
complaining about is definitely of the household variety that has no business in the
Situm*s cans.

Your August report on the shopping center proposal is utterly biased.
The SHORE LINE reads* '*Brock.,.pointed out no representative of Nature Conservancy
had contacted him with regard to acquiring the site by purchase or otherwise*'.
LBTTEES TO This simply is not the case, Fred Annand, the N,C,Nature Conservancy's
Director of Acquisition and Stewardship, made many calls to Brock's office
over a period of several weeks. Those calls went unanswered. Pine Knoll
Shores resident **Pete** Peterson also made repeated efforts in behalf of the Nature
Conservancy to contact Brock, Peterson's enquiries were likewise ignored.
This was all brought out at the August 8 "Pretty Committee*’ meeting. Were you
there? Why did you print only Brock's statement, and ignore the refutation of that
statement?
Most importantly, why did your account of the August 1? meeting only include the
developer's '‘explanation*’ of the shopping center? Pertinent questions regarding the
project's advisability were raised at the meeting. Your report ignored these questions,
but somehow managed to find space for Don Brock's praise of the plan as one of the "best
in BBistem North Carolina**,
So much for the SHORE LINE's objectivity. Perhaps you will do me the courtesy,
this time, of printing my letter. That courtesy has not been extended to me in the past
Sincerely,
