I recall she worked at the local KOA and hung around my circle of friends. She was a very talented artist and all around great person.<br />She graduated to a better job as a deckhand on the Hatteras Ocracoke ferry, and I believe she was the first woman to do so. She eventually bought a tiny house on Ocracoke and I liked dropping in on her as she fixed it up. <br />After a time she sold it and moved away to Norfolk where she landed a job on the Cousteau research vessel Calypso. Shortly after that I didn't hear much from or about her.<br />I still have some of her drawings, including a small original portrait of me and my dog.<br />Thanks Phillip for reminding me of one a bright spot in my life.Mikehttp://photoblog.michaelhalminski.comnoreply@blogger.com
