VARIED BACKGROUNDS OF PKS^ers — by STURGIS HEDRICK
Perhaps the infinite variety of interests of the PKS residents keeps the fresh air '
e^ilarating level. Or could it be the vigor of the golf swings or,
the swish of the tennis strokes? I
At any rate, a large sampling of the PKS backgrounds discloses seven pilots (one
commercial) keep things flying. One Sky Pilot (a retired

Morehead City Postmaster Wade Pelletier informs us that there is a push on by
Atlantic Beach to bring PKS into their postal area, which would mean a most incon
