A Nearby Creek Offers The Pelletiers A Soothing, Different Atmosphere (Continued From Page 37) "It was very providential that we were called to these two ministries, education and bereavement," says Jean. "I would call it the hand of God." Shortly after moving to Sunset Beach. Jean had stopped by Bruns wick Community College to check on an art class and left the parking lot with a job he never asked for, and one for Frances as well. Stop ping by Ix?wer Cape Fear Hos pice's office to volunteer, he again came away with a job. Willi their strong faith and love of nature, it's no accident, then, that the Pelletiers' garden also includes a statute of St. Francis of Assisi? the priest who loved all of God's creation and once preached to the sparrows at Alviano. The Pelletiers have become "pied pipers" of sorts, with neigh borhood dogs joining their morning jaunts or slopping by at midmorn ing for a biscuil ireat from Frances and a short windowpane visit with Scrapper, their cat whose persis tence won him both a name and a family.

Borrowed from the name of the counseling service Jean began in Raleigh before moving here, "The H.O.P.E. Chest," with its hint of possibilities and potential, suits the Pelletiers. Frances finds the nearby creek "very soothing, not belter or worse than the beach, just different"?and the inspiration for a new scries of poems. For Jean, the move across the waterway has sparked an eagerness to retire, to enjoy the companion ship of neighbors and nature and maybe even to learn to fish. "I personally really appreciate living in the county," he says. "I feel I'm more a part of the local community." Neighbors have welcomed them, extending both know-how and friendship. "Everyone on this road is really a unique individual," adds Frances. "They're free to be who they arc, their own person. They have very different backgrounds, educational levels. But it is really great to feel comfortable with people who arc very different from you, except in uniqueness. "There are no coffee klatches, but it's a real community."
