Page -3- UR NEW NEIGHBORS Mildr^ and Carl Lyerly our new neighbors live on the corner of Arborvitae and Salter Path. They are native North Carolinians. They were born and raised in Rowan County near Salisbury. Carl and Mildred were married just after he got out of the Air Force and they settled in Goldsboro where they lived and worked for twenty years. Carl was in the construction business and Mildred was his bookeeper, housekeeper and "child raiser". When Carl retired frcxn his construction business in 1972 they spent much of their time at Carolina Beach and about five years ago moved to that area from Goldsboro. They really liked it there - but they kept thinking of this area as they had vacationed here for many years. They had known it when Salter Path really was a path, Mildred told me, and they had really like it here. Finally, they made their decision to start looking for a place to live here and after many months found their house on Arborvitae. Carl enjoys "fixing things up" and he has done so much to make their home beautiful on the outside and Mildred has done the inside. All their efforts have been rewarding and the results are pleasant and pretty. Carl and Mildred have two sons: Richard who lives with his wife and son, Chris, in Goldsboro and Carl Jr. who is single and lives in Durham. One of the things Carl and Mildred enjoy most is having their sons visit often. Their other interests include boating, fishing and traveling. They enjoy their hcane and each other, playing cards and talking. I enjoyed talking with both of them. Like so many in our town they are fun to talk to, interesting and enjoyable. JACQUE LYNN _________ oOo --------- BRENDA COX FETED Over a hundred well wishers gathered at Holiday Inn on November 21st to honor Brenda Cox who has left Pine Knoll Shores for her former home in Lumberton. All officials of the Town were assembled, all of them thinking of the hundreds of ways she had been helpful to them during her tenure as Assistant Town Clerk and Tax Collector. Mayor Hanan led off the presentations with a silver platter appropriately inscribed. He described her as the most effective tax collector the to;m has ever had. Jack Thcanpson represented the Fire Department, Ed Crawford spoke for the Police and, Gil Millington for the Rescue Squad which Brenda served so ably as driver and EMT. Perhaps the most heartfelt tribute came from Corrine Geer who had been instrumental in obtaining Brenda's commitment in the first place. She spoke of their years working together, the many ways in which Brenda had filled the gap when it looked like there was no one to do the job. This started in the very beginning one day when the fire siren went off, Corinne got the fire engine going but nobody showed up to drive the truck. Brenda stepped forward and said she could do that and she did! Not only was she always willinct, she was able. It was an emotional occasion. The Town's love for Brenda and her love for the Town set the mood and many tears were shed. But she has left us with fond memories and the promise to come back and see us! We wish you well, Brenda. oGo --------- TEN YEARS AGO IN THE SHORE LINE New neiglibors welcomed were Scott and Gwen Cuthill. Bill Uebele and Jack Thompson were named to head a committee charged with preparing the groundwork for formation of a Fire and Rescue Department in the Town. __ — oOo
