SONNET TO A TOWN - 1993 Long ago, when Pine Knoll Shores b^an, and lots stood empty on the sea and sound. Some of us were thinking of a plan to make a paradise of what we'd found. We met together, feeling strong and proud, and figured how to get right on the map. The word went out to all, quite clear and loud; And we incorporated in a snap. We picked our trusty leaden: they were great! A real town were we, just like our dreams - We're sure we are the best one in the Sute, And others look to us to lead, it seems. And now, admist the sounds of hearty cheers. Let's look ahead to another TWENTY YEARS! Mary Doll
