Looking Back and a Special Tribute
Having dreamed of living on the coast and developing my painting skills, in 1998 I found a rental on Sunshine Court. As I acclimated and sought to find my way, I recalled a Beaufort
neighbor once saying, "Don't worry, you'll find your niche."
Three years later, I fortuitously found a small cottage in the historic district, and was soon inspired to paint neighboring homes. Yearning to know more, I searched family records and house histories; this helped me better capture the character and spirit of each dwelling.
I first became aware of Mary Warshaw several years ago. I had just retired to Beaufort and my uncle, Borden Mace, immediately came to visit me. The house I had rented on Ann Street sat directly across from the Mace house where "Uncle Bookie" and my mother had grown up. At age 93, Uncle Bookie knew he did not have much longer to live and he wanted to "breathe in" his beloved Beaufort one last time. But instead of dying that year, my uncle became completely energized by Beaufort as he began retracing his roots. This is where Mary Warshaw entered into our lives.
Uncle Bookie and I discovered that Mary had painstakingly researched so much of the history of Beaufort. She had woven together a staggering compilation of history that covered three centuries! READ MORE...
Three years later, I fortuitously found a small cottage in the historic district, and was soon inspired to paint neighboring homes. Yearning to know more, I searched family records and house histories; this helped me better capture the character and spirit of each dwelling.
While exploring other materials and sources, I found much I had not
seen in the then few local publications. With no internet archive of the
town, in 2006 I began the first two of many sites to follow - Beaufort North Carolina's Best and Beaufort North Carolina History, to share and help promote the town and its unique history.
Diagnosed with MS in 2008, in 2010 I moved to Radio Island where I share photos of my view, while continuing my research and writing about Beaufort.

I truly believe I was sent to Beaufort for a reason and am very grateful for the special "thank you" below.
