Spring Meeting Report

Thanks to all who attended our May 20 meeting at NCCAT! It was a great day and we counted 50 in attendance. Special guests were Dr. Erin Seekamp of NC State University, Acting Superintendent of CALO, Jeff West, and author Ray McAllister, the new editor of the Doctor’s Creek Journal. We surprised Dave Frum, NPS, with a special plaque thanking him for his 28 years of service working at Portsmouth Village. The late Ellen Cloud’s book, Portsmouth – The Way It Was, has been republished and was presented at the meeting. Ellen’s daughters, Simona and Deidra, were on hand to sign the books along with Ray McAllister, the publisher. After door prizes, lunch was served on the outside deck.

FPI’s next meeting will be September 16 at the Sanitary Restaurant at Morehead City. The meeting starts at 10:00 with a Dutch treat lunch after the meeting. Hope to see you there!
