“This
is a big night for the Carteret County Historical Society and for Pine Knoll
Shores,” said Michelle Powers, an active member of the PKS History Committee
and vice-president of the Historical Society Board. She was speaking at the
March 11 dedication of the new Rodney Kemp Gallery in the former History Place
and the formal opening of the gallery’s first exhibit, “Beach Town in a Forest:
The Story of Pine Knoll Shores.” Approximately 145 invited guests were in attendance.
