Some Years Ago

Here's a fun photo taken at South Point more than 40 years ago by Greg Pawelski. He was kind enough to send it to me. You can see more of his pictures on our FaceBook page. Just click on the link to the right.

Morris Minor at South Point, 1968













Our latest Ocracoke Newsletter is a video of Philip Howard telling the story of the 1861 wreck of the Black Squall. You can watch it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news032113.htm.

    Thankfully, Ocracoke looks the same today.

    1. Once you get to our Facebook page click on Gregory D. Pawelski under "Recent Posts by Others on Village Craftsmen."

      On his page click on "Ocracoke Island Thirty Years Ago."

      I only do Facebook for Village Craftsmen, and I'm not very savvy about it. I hope this makes sense for you.

      Thanks Philip...I wasn't paying enough attention and missed the word "Facebook" - I thought the link was on the journal page. :-)

    For those of us not on Facebook, is there any other way to access those pictures?

    1. Vickie, I am just learning how to navigate Facebook myself. There may not be a way to see those photos without joining Facebook.

    2. Greg tells me they are on a "public" Facebook page so anyone may view them.

  4. You don't have to join Facebook to view the photos. I've posted them for "public" view, not private friends. I wanted to show how much I've visited Ocracoke Island over the last 45 years and why I fell in love with its nature, its people. Hope you will enjoy.

      My husband and I loved looking at the pics. He is fascinated with the Berkley Manor and those photos really intrigued him. Thank you so much for allowing those of us that also love the island to enjoy your memories of it in past times.

    2. You are welcome. Look for a vintage photo of Berkley Castle in Sunday's post.

    I would like you to meet


    Allow me to introduce you to Morris Minor,
    On this occasion it could not be finer
    for there is a gentle breeze
    and the sun shines oh so bright
    on the sand near the shore.
    The perfection today as the visitor from the UK
    spends the day to explore.
