Thank you for remembering her. Growing up in eastern NC, Virginia Dare and the myriad Lost Colony legends captivated many young imaginations.

Did you see Andy Griffith when you visited Manteo? (smile)

[Constitution Day]

Where in eastern NC?
I grew up in Edgecombe County and now live there with my wife & daughter.

Yes, I also found it fascinating growing up.

Funny you should mention it, Andy Griffith was down there that very weekend too.
He was dedicating the new Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge along w/ Governor Mike "Taxes" Easley & Sen. Marc Basnight.

I've never met him, but some of my friends down there (locals) have.
