Linda and Ed Spader reside in their beach home at 22 Maritime Place. Linda loves it on the ocean
after living many years on a sleepy little creek in Atlantic Beach.
Linda was born in Charleston, SC, where her parents owned a fishing business. They moved to
McCleansville, SC, than on to Morehead City, where she grew up. She then married and lived in
Atlantic Beach. She remarried 1 1/2 years ago to Ed Spader and became a PKS resident.
Ed was born in Elizabeth, NJ. He worked for Dupont in West Virginia when he retired with his
first wife, Anna, to PKS twenty years' ago. Ed says he feels like he's a local. His main hobby is golf.
He has golfed for seventy years.
Linda worked as a recreation therapist in 1979 in Morehead and was director of recreation at
Morehead Nursing Center, then moved on to Sailor's Snug Harbor Recreation Director, and worked
at Carteret Community College as a special population instructor for handicapped. She found this
all rewarding.
Linda has two children. Daughter, Kristi Forbes, works in Atlanta at the Apparel Mart, and son,
Michael Forbes, lives in Rocky Mount and is a student at East Carolina University.
Ed was married for 57 years to Anna Spader, who passed away a few years' ago. They had four
sons. Allen Spader in Raleigh, NC, is director of the NC Mental Health Program; Bruce Spader in
Raleigh is a new author - "A Fire burned on a Windy Hill;" Roy Spader in Parkersburg, WV, owns
Chamber Publications; and James Spader of Belpre, Ohio, is a pipe fitter there. Ed has seven
grandchildren, two of whom are in Germany, and six great grandchildren. The two newest are a set
of twins.
Linda enjoys reading, art and has started playing golf. She wants to start some sort of business in
the art field and wants to meet and make friends. They are both a charm. Betty Lee Foulk
Ken and Edy Renee Magel moved into their lovely condo at Al, Fiddles's Walk, Beacon's Reach
from Pittsburgh, PA, in September 1995. Ken was a senior buyer. Navy Nuclear, with Westinghouse
for 38 years; Edy Renee managed the driver's licensing office in Pittsburgh.
Ken and Edy Renee are serious cyclists. During one of their cycling vacations through eastern
North Carolina, they stayed overnight in Beaufort, NC. While looking over Taylor's Creek, they
realized what a beautiful place it was. They decided to return by car and investigate the area. Back
they came and discovered Bogue Banks. They subsequently bought a home in Mandy Farms which
they used as a rental. Since they spent so much time on Bogue Banks and loved the beach, they
decided to sell the Mandy Farms home and buy on the Island.
Their son, Keith, is married and they just had their first grandchild, 6 month old Aaron. Keith and
his family live in Chesapeake, VA. They also have a daughter, Patti, who with her husband, John,
lives in Pittsburgh.
Ken and Edy Renee love cycling. They walk on the beach and enjoy their 30 foot boat. Edy Renee
has joined the PKS Women's Club.
When I asked them if they had any special thoughts on Pine Knoll Shores, they said "We love it
here; this is our dream. We worked for 10 years to achieve our goal." We welcome them.
