• • 3 if the banditti had just romped through it! I doubt if either my sister or I have ever before had so much exercise as we did climbing pyramids. Exhausting but interesting, MEET THE KIRXjj Esther and Harris Kirk of Pine Knoll Townes both have such richly historical backgrounds that we could do a whole series on them, Esther is a descendant of James Monroe and has some beautiful pieces of furniture which actually belonged to him. On the other side of Esther’s familty was her grand father, George Davis, who was attorney general in the cabinet of Jefferson Davis, The Kirk*s daughter, Fair Wright and her husband, Bob, moved down to Morehead City last Spring and bought the Graft Cupboard on Arendell Street, They are both recent graduates of Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, The Kirks came to us from Fairfax County, Virginia, upon Harris's retirement from his government position. Much earlier he was with CBS, and during World War II, both Harris and Esther were in the Red Gross in the Mediterranean Theatre, Harris points out that he was in France in both World War I and II, the first time as a very young warrant officer and the second time as field director for the Red Cross in the Military Naval Welfare Service, Their job was to communicate with local chapters back home in case of an emergency and to maintain morale at the front, Esther volunteered for a Red Cross program to visit American wounded in foreign hospitals but soon found herself assigned to an American hospital where she had to develop the job for herself, doing everything she could as a volunteer to make the situation of the wounded a bit easier, Esther and Harris who had known each other only slightly before this were eventually married in the Red Cross Officers Club in Corsica in 19^, The Kirks are knowledgeable about many subjects, since they both have curious and retentive minds. Their special interests are history and antiques, and they have lovely old pieces of furniture, portraits, and books; they are willing to tell fascinating tales about them all. They are a charming pair whom you will want to know better and better.
