Nice to know another TarHeel born and bred!

Did you ever hear of the town of Roanoke Rapids?-born and grew up there. Many summers as I was growing up, my family stayed in the Pappendick cottages across from the Wilbur and Orville Wright motel at the beach. In those days there was only the beach road to get you to the Outer Banks. Not many hotels and motels, either. I could see the Wright Memorial across acres of undeveloped land from where we stayed. Those were the days.

What city do you call home now?

It's unfortunate that I didn't know when you were residing in Tampa. I live in the area, myself.
