Williamsburg Visit
By Cierra Tomaso
Colonial Williamsburg is a tourist-oriented settlement
in Virginia with significant historical value, especially
if you want to experience a moment in the 1700's.
Horses pull carriages down the streets, and costumed
men and women staff the shops, taverns and houses.
There are trade shops to suit every need, including
silversmiths, blacksmiths and shoemakers. Personally,
the 1700's is probably one of my favorite time periods.
I love reading about the Revolutionary War.
I enjoyed stepping into an authentic coffee shop of
that time period. When I was handed abar of chocolate
as it was used back then, being a chocoholic I sniffed
it a bit too long. I looked up to find the guide staring
at me. I handed it over sheepishly. When we went
into another room to have some chocolate to drink,
the guide said pointedly to the host, "Watch out for
this one, she's a chocolate sniffer."
We saw many other sites. We also did a ghost walk
later. I love ghost walks, and the scarier the better. This
one wasn't scary. Rather, it was funny. The guide was
a graduate student who was specializing in the 1700's
period. She was surprisingly good and an animated
storyteller. The ghost tales were about workers who
had had recent encounters with ghosts.
I really enjoyed Williamsburg. It's definitely
somewhere you should go at least once.
Trinity Center
Continued from page 14
Point for a Marine Corps retreat for only one dollar a
year and offered to the Roman Catholic Church use of
the property for their "Alice Hoffman Family Living
Center." This satisfied terms of the deed, but other
complications ensued, making development of the
Bogue Banks site move ever more slowly.
To keep one camp running while developing another
was a daunting task in itself, but because black
children were not welcome at Camp Leach, and it
was an ethically Christian as well as politically correct
thing to provide a camp experience for all children,
some kind of facility for this purpose needed to be
established. The use of a Topsail Island restaurant
during its seasonal two week closure was offered.
Later additional property on Topsail was donated to
the Episcopal Diocese for a camp. In time, this property
became Camp Oceanside.
Bishop Wright, already struggling to maintain one
camp/conference center, now had to develop and
find the funding for two more. Hence, the eventual
merger of all three: Camp Leach, The Alice Hoffman
Family Living Center and Oceanside Camp began to be
developed, funded and maintained as a three-in- one
camp/conference facility, known as the Trinity Center,
here on Bogue Banks. (To be continued).
