Down Point Decoys, Green Island Club, and photos: If I remember correctly the Down Point Decoys building came from one of the hunting clubs "Down Below" (that's the area of the island from the edge of the village to Hatteras Inlet). It probably was part of the Green Island Club, and was moved soon after the National Park Service established the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Maybe one of our readers remembers if Fowler was a member of the Club. I wouldn't doubt it, and moving a building was certainly right up his alley. <BR/><BR/>Look for three photos of Fowler in tomorrow's journal entry. He was a great guy, and missed by all.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-65206665791519039452009-01-30T15:09:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:09:00.000-05:00another wonderful island character lost - Fowler ...another wonderful island character lost - Fowler positively affected so many folks in that most quintessential of manners that characterize that wonderful few most cherished Ocracoke generations .... through knowledge & experience of the environment, a love of life & people, a great listener, and the sweetest most understated sense of humor and infectious laugh and smile...<BR/><BR/>Fowler, we will miss you...<BR/><BR/>Warner PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-46048044821960374602009-01-30T14:20:00.000-05:002009-01-30T14:20:00.000-05:00So sorry to hear of Fowler's passing.
