Max

Cathy Scarborough Elicker & her husband, Jason Elicker, are the proud new parents of Max Owen, born in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 12. Mamma, Pappa, and baby are now home on Ocracoke. Word is that Max is a cutie, and everyone is doing fine.

Many readers will know that Cathy is the owner of "Over the Moon," a fine shop on British Cemetery Road. Be sure to stop by and wish Max well on your next visit to the island.

Granddaddy Al, known to many as a likeable old codger (he is a few years older than I am, after all) & curmudgeon, can't understand why Max isn't speaking yet.
