Folk all over the state and Tar Heel expatriates regarded the magazine founded by Carl Goerch, a native Taity- town New York Yankee, as “must” read ing and continued the affection with new owner Bill Sharpe when Mr. Goerch “retired" to writing a Column for the State, filling ntyriad leaking engage ments, and expanding his Tar Heel trav eling to other lands.
