We had a great fall meeting this past Saturday at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum with 46 people signed in. We enjoyed presentations by Pat Kenney, Superintendent of Cape Lookout National Seashore, and Kenneth Burke, a true Portsmouth historian. All in attendance received a printed copy of Mr. Burke’s thesis, considered to be one of the most important documents chronicling the history of Portsmouth. Special thanks to our members who pitched in to prepare and serve the food, sell t-shirts and books, man the registration and membership tables, and tear down tables and chairs while cleaning up. Elections were held during this meeting and we are pleased to report that the current board members will remain the same for the 2017-2018 term. Marjorie Spruill was presented with a special Lifetime Membership during the meeting. Several door prizes were awarded and after the meeting adjourned we enjoyed a delicious lunch of sandwiches, clam chowder and homemade desserts. Our next meeting will be Saturday, May 20, 2017 at Ocracoke. Plan to join us!
