Openings

It's good to see Braxton back on the island with vegetables for sale; and we are looking forward to the Ocracoke Seafood Company opening next weekend. It's been a long, cold winter; every sign of Spring is welcome.

The Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum is opening today at 10:00 AM. Two new exhibits are planned. There is a fascinating World War II exhibit which was put together by Janey and Dick Jacoby. German U-Boats prowled the Atlantic just off the Outer Banks and the British Cemetery is a solemn reminder of that. The Museum's exhibit explores and honors the service Ocrocokers played in WWII.

And Francis Eubanks will have a photographic display honoring Portsmouth Island in time for the Homecoming events this Spring when many descendants of Portsmouth residents will gather.
