A person I met today


A person I met today on the island captures the sentiment I am hearing from everyone. Unsolicited he asked me if I had seen the Bull Sh@# sign saying Dogs had to be on a leash. This 67 year old fellow by the last name of Judy told me he has been going to the island for 40 years. He remembers camping out years ago when he got warned 4,000 boy scouts were about to land on the island. He moved his camp but the next day returned to hear Gov. Hunt speak to the crowd. This was no small feat because the wind had kicked up and the Governor ended up having to jump out of his helicopter while it was still 5 feet in the air and came down rolling. Anyway this fellow Judy remembers the words of the Governor very clearly. In talking about the greatness of Masonboro, Gov. Hunt said. "This is one of the last places you can bring your dog and your kids and you can let them run around free and no one will harass you."
