If you are on the island Friday night before Homecoming, be sure to come by the Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum from 5-7 pm. OPS will be hosting a book signing and reception for Ray McAllister, who happens to be our Doctor’s Creek Journal editor. Ray has combined and published two of Ellen Cloud’s books into one with two new pieces written by Ellen, more pages and photographs. The book is titled “Ocracoke Lighthouse and the Old Salts,” and the price for this new hardcover book is $21.95. Come out and meet Ray on Friday night! Ellen passed away in December 2016, but her daughters Simona and Deidra will be there to greet you. See you there!
