We’d like to thank all of you who came to our membership meeting at Ocracoke on May 17! Our guest speaker was Ocracoke historian and author Philip Howard, who spoke to us about the Life Saving Service. Jeff West, CALO Superintendent, also gave updates on the state of the village, and there were tributes to the late Rudy Austin and the late Kenneth Burke. FPI president Connie Mason led us in singing “Throw Out the Lifeline”, which Kenneth had led during the hymn singing in the church at homecomings for many years.
Everyone enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast and door prizes for the lucky winners. It’s always a pleasure to meet at NCCAT. We enjoyed seeing attendees from as far away as Washington D.C. and Florida. Thank you all for making the effort to come!
