Germany, near Nuremburg, where her husband continued to work for the U.S. Government in
a civilian capacity until his retirement in 1973. Their other son and daughter were born
in Germany. ^
They came back then to his home: Connecticut. They lived in Danbury, and had as
neighbors, the Raoul Casases. Maggie's husband died five years ago, and she began thinking
her house was too big. The Casases kept coming down here to McGinnis Point, where they'd
bought a condo, and eventually they dragged Maggie along. She was enchanted and made
up her mind to settle here herself, moving in last November. Three of her children now
live in Connecticut and one in Virginia. There are 2 grandchildren.
She especially loves the daily water aerobics at the sports center, has found friends
at St. Egbert's Church, is already doing volunteer work at Martha's Mission, and takes
a walk every night. When her regular walking buddies are away, some other neighbors who
walk "adopt me", says she, and off they go. In August she's going to visit her veiry fit
97 year old mother in Germany.
With all this energy and enthusiasm, Maggie can indeed be called "adoptable".

Did you ever know anyone who was actually born in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota? You now have your chance to meet Sue Glover, who recently moved into a condo
minium at Fiddler's Walk in Beacon's Reach. Her father was a surgeon at the clinic but
soon set up his own practice in Lima, Ohio. Since then Sue has lived in many places and
parts of the world. It is really hard to know where to begin to describe the fascinating
life this most interesting lady has been and still is living.
When she was a teenager and World War II started, her father joined the Army and
was stationed at a hospital near Asheville, N. C. So her interest in our State was
aroused, but it took an ad for Beacon's Reach in the Piedmont Airline Magazine many years^
later to get her to find Pine Knoll Shores and move here from Chicago. In the meantime,
she went to Bradford Junior College, married, and raised a family. A son is now with
Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company, and a daughter. Dr. Lucy Moore, has her own clinic
in Danville, Virginia. Three young grandchildren are one of Sue's great delights in life.
She has always been interested in politics and was on the Board of Education in Lima,
Ohio. Since moving here she has been active in the Newcomer's Club and participated in
the Woman's Club. But her great love of people and travel, adventure and discovery led
her to her present profession. She is a licensed International Tour Director, having
graduated from the International Tour Management Institute in San Francisco, and is now
employed by The Thomas Gohagan and Company in Chicago. They arrange tours for the Alumni of
86 colleges and universities. She will direct 6 or 8 tours a year and in June will be
conducting a safari to Kenya for the University of North Carolina. In July she will be
in Ireland with a Brown University tour. She lived in Nairobi, Kenya some years ago and
was in business there, so that the African safaris are almost like a home-coming for her,
and she will do several more this year. However, her enthusiastic love for Pine Knoll
Shores will be a great addition to our town, when she is in residence between tours.
I only wish I could go back on one of those safaris with her!

We apologize for the brevity of this month's article, but "baby season" is suddenly
upon us, and we're so busy that we almost missed the Shore Line deadline!
Instead of one patient this month, let's mention the hundreds of babies being brough^^
in to us, and which will continue to come in throughout the summer. So far in May, we've
got screech owls, opossums, bluebirds, grackles, mourning doves, mallards, mockingbirds.
