On their first day in Paris, after taking in some sights, they stopped at a sidewalk cafe along the Seine for a glass of wine. In spite of cold, wet weather, Brian and Tricia braved the ele ments for a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Later as they sailed west to east across Germany, mostly on the Mosul River, they were delighted to spot the hillside in the background from the sundeck of their cruise ship, planted with grapes to make German Riesling. Pine Knoll Shores resident Joan Lamson (far right) was joined in August by the Lamson side of her family for their annual reunion at the beach. They’re pictured here following an enjoyable evening at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast.—Photo by Henry Perreta Pine Knoll Shores residents John and Belva Partin recently enjoyed a visit with their grandchil dren, Riley, Jason and Will Partin.
