Raynor, James

Abstract:

The school system as she knew it back then: one room buildings, students of all ages taught together, and a salary of thirty five dollars a month. It may be surprising, then, for her to conclude those conditions better. A common explanation may be a salary almost a tenth of a contemporary salary stretching further. A less common conclusion may echo Leona Meekins’: God’s providence provided a fortunate and richly lived life.

The village was lost in a sense, due to the mysterious disappearance of the original inhabitants. What was not lost, represented in dramas such as The Lost Colony. Profiled during its fortieth anniversary, its latest production proved Roanoke and the lost colonists still possessed mystique.

James, Pete

Abstract:

What lends the Outer Banks mystique, may obviously lie in towns not widely known such as Duck. A source of mystique not so well known was one Tar Heel natives like Nell Wise Wechter debate: the name's origins. Seeking places to sup while touring the town touting mystique included Wanchese’s Fishermen’s Wharf, Nag Head’s Dareolina, and Kill Devil Hill’s Top of the Dunes.
