Pine Knoll Shores resident Helen Anderson’s P.E.O.
sisters recently held a surprise birthday party to
celebrate her 80th birthday. Helen has lived in Pine
Knoll Shores for more than 30 years, is an expert
needle-pointer, sings in the church choir, has a
great sense of humor and is almost impossible to
surprise. PE.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization) is a society
for women founded in 1869 that has the mission of promoting educa
tional opportunities for women—work that is very important to Helen.
The birthday celebration, held in the home of Ike and Jacquie Pipkin,
caught her by surprise and, for the first time in a very long time,
Helen was speechless.—Photo by Connie Brophy
Camp Albemarle in Newport, a faith-based camp with a sailing element, does a “sail across” a couple of times during
the summer, allowing campers to sail across Bogue Sound to the Beacon’s Reach Marina in Pine Knoll Shores. After
mooring at Beacon’s Reach, campers spend a little time at the beach before heading back across the sound. These
photos were captured recently as campers arrived at the marina and later as they were preparing for their return sail.
Camp Albemarle Executive Director Tom Hussmann expresses appreciation to Beacon’s Reach for their willingness to
host the campers for this fun event.—p/iotos by David Shapiro

This large Sweetgum tree came down in Arleen and Tom
Graczewski’s yard very early in Humcane Arthur’s approach, some
time just after 9 p.m. on Thursday evening. It stood just eight feet
from the house but fell in the opposite direction, blocking half the
street. Fortunately, son, Tim, and son-in-law, Keith Edwards, were on
hand to serve as the removal crew.—Photo by Arleen Graczewsid
