Miller Pope never planned to own a beach resort. During the war he was an illustrator for the Marine's magazine, Leatherneck. After the war he went to New York and did illustrations for Seventeen and Glamour magazines. Later he had an office on Madison Avenue and was drawing for Time, Life, and Reader's Digest. In the 1950s the family vacationed at numerous beaches looking for a place until one day they came to Ocean Isle and decided \"This is it.\" DeGregory recounts how the Winds Resort Beach Club at Ocean Isle began.

Abstract:
The Bodie Island Lighthouse has stood on the Outer Banks for 141 years. In all that time it had only been open to the public for a few days in 1988 during the U.S. Lighthouse Service bicentennial celebration. The black-and-white striped-tower later underwent a $5 million restoration, and in October 2013, 300 descendants of the 34 keepers gathered there to share their stories of growing up at the lighthouse.
