Homecoming Committee, presented the invitation for the Committee to the
British Ambassador. Third: Victor Meekins, Elizabeth City newspaperman,
and Dare County product, who launched the idea of a Homecoming and whose
tireless efforts for Dare County have secured international publicity for
his native section of the Coastland. Forth: Mrs. Rennie G. Williamson, the
