Dear Editor,
It is a shame that more people
in Perquimans County didn't
know about, or were not able to
? attend a course that ended today
? at the New bold- White Site. There
. was one person from a neighbor
ing county who never missed a
. session, neither did I nor most of
the others.
The course was "Introduction
'to Archaeology" taught by David
McCall. Hearing lectures and
Viewing artifacts and films,
helped all of us to understand life
styles of people of many different
cultures. To me, it was especially
interesting to get an idea of the
lifestyle of the people who first
lived at this interesting place.
1 first became aware of the im
portance of the Newbold-White
House when it was being restored
and my daughter, Anne E. Young
became the first Chairman of Op
erations. The Newbold-White
House is a valuable asset to Per
quimans County. Since it is the
oldest house in the state, we can
truly claim it as a unique asset.
I hope more people from the
county will be able to attend the

Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Quilt Lovers
Guild, I would like to thank you
and the people of Pasquotank,
Perquimans, Chowan, Dare,
Gates, and Currituck counties for
a most successful Quilt Docu
mentation Day on February
22nd. The coverage we received
in your paper really reached the
multitudes and resulted in a re
cord breaking day. I think we can
call the whole seven miintiM
"Quilt Lovers."
This is a very rich area to have
so many beautiful quilts and so
many people who value them. It
was truly a feast for the eye and
at times a lump in the throat
when we felt the story and histo
ries unfold before us. We were
overwhelmed at the turn out. As
more than 150 people learned, we
had to stop taking quilts in the
early afternoon because there
were more quilts than time to
process them. We did take their
names, and they will be called to
make up day so that their quilts
can be documented. I can't begin
to tell you how patient and under
standing people were. The lines
were long and the quilts piled
high but not once did we hear "a
discouraging word." I think they
might have been enjoying the
"quilt show" as we were.
We also want to thank all of the
volunteers who came and
worked.
They came from our seven coun
ties plus Greenville and Tidewa
ter (I even had a "customer" or
two pitch in) to help and we
couldn't have done it without
them. It was an exciting day we
won't soon forget.
Sincerely,
Jackie (Mrs. V.M.) Fueston
