My name is Chris Copeland and I grew up in Virginia, went to college at ECU and live in San Francisco area. I grew up surfing Hatteras and did not know my lineage until after I moved away. I wonder if there are many Tolsons (cousins) still living on the island?<br />Chris Copeland<br />artvdelay@yahoo.comChris Copelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-68401438595638898142009-02-25T19:09:00.000-05:002009-02-25T19:09:00.000-05:00I met the Legume Family they are a wonderful pilla...I met the Legume Family they are a wonderful pillar in the community.

I have no idea what the cost of a plot is. Maybe some of our readers do. Many islanders are still buried in small plots on private land (as were my parents). The issue here is not money, but family connection. I understand that Fowler was cremated.

The poems yesterday were lovely. You'll make me look closer at the stones. Found your journal while looking for a Fig Cake recipe a while back, and am now a daily reader. Nice snippets of life here - which is pretty sweet. Hi to Amy and Thanks.<BR/><BR/>ReggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
