Voice of Pine Knoll Shores
Betty Carr Retires
By Jacquie Pipkin
enunciated drawl. Betty, who has been
the voice and for many of us the face of
Pine Knoll Shores for the past 19 years
has retired.
As of October 2, Betty is spending
more time with her daughter, Joarma,
who is in failing health. Betty also has
a son, Peter, who lives in Raleigh and a
13-year-old grandson, Garrett. Betty's
late husband, Joseph B. Peter ("Pete"),
was Assistant Superintendent of Public
Schools for Clinton, N.C., where the
couple resided for 33 years before
moving to this area.
Prior to having children, Betty was
a service representative for Carolina
Telephone (now Embarq). Once her
children started going to school, Betty
reentered the work force and served
as Director of the Clinton Chamber of
Commerce until 1986 when moving
to Pine Knoll Shore. Pete's sister and
husband lived in PKS.
Wanting to be near them
and loving the water and
fishing made PKS an easy
retirement decision.
For a period of time,
Betty sold real estate in
the area and also devoted
many volunteer hours
to the Station Club, a
sheltered workshop
for disabled
individuals in
Morehead City. In
fact, the dedication
of the Station Club's
'Hello, you have reached the tovm
of Pine Knoll Shores, " is the greeting
one receives when calling town hall. "If
you know your party's extension, you
may dial it now," invites Betty Carr
in her low, southem-bred, perfectly

Battalion. The primary purpose of the
visit was to initiate planning for the
third-annual Pine Knoll Shores' Kayak
for the Warriors event, which will take
place on June 12, 2010. In this regard
the trip was a great success.
First, the RAC members had 90 minutes
alone with Ms. Peggy Rochon, Director
of the Southeast Region for the Hope For
The Warriors. Ms. Rochon did a terrific
job outlining the group's programs. This
was a superb opportunity to get a better
understanding of this incredible cause

to support and provides for you, our
donors and race participants, a fuller
appreciation of where your money is
going.
