Being a native of Harkers Island, now I'm living in Wilmington NC. Have met some of the most wonderful people here even thought there are not from tne island.........you bet they have heard of Harkers Island and the CSWM. They always seem to pick up on my accent for some reason and know right where I'm from ??????? Wonder why? Could it be that local flair in my voice that gives me away? I think so and that makes me be proud to be from Harkers Island and a member of the CSWM. I have told several people here in the Wilmington of CSWM and told them to checkout the website to see what were all about. I'm involved in a lot of community activiteis here in Wilmingotn area but nothing compares to the "DownEast" and Harkers Island aera. What a journey we have been down to preserve our hertiage and our way of life. Just becasue I don't livee on Harkers Island anymore doesn't mean I don't like to come home smell the salt air as I cross the draw bridge. Like the saying goes, " Ain't nothing prettier than seeing that draw bridge, on the way home from vacation." Just thought to drop a couple lines here as I tell some friends about the CSWM. You can take the boy off the island, but you can't take the isalnd out the boy" Marty Yeomans <myeomansjr@ec.rr.com> Wilmington, NC Sun 01/11/06 3:43 PM We visited Harkers Island in 1997. Bought 2 decoys from
Kurt Salter and 1 dcoy from Norman Hancock. Would love to come again.
A beautiful place and the people are so friendly. Ny relatives made
decoys in the early 1900's. they were from the Carolinas. Merry
Christmas to you all. I have taken your
tour a few times in the last few days. This is by far the very
best web site that I have seen. The effort that was put into it
is obvious. Please keep going. Thank you so much for such a wonderful
look into the past history of an area that I have always wondered
about. Your website is just fine: attractive and informative.
I have not been to the museum yet, but I am looking forward to meeting
y'all during the Waterfowl Weekend. Greetings from the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. I'm an
intern here at the museum, editing their winter journal. Enjoying
perusing your site. Thanks, Chirs What a wonderful island, and a special museum! We just
returned & were so impressed with the people, the exhibits,
the " feel" of the museum itself. Already planning our
return visit! Thank you. To all of the people who worked so hard on the web site,
thank you for a job well done, It is not as good as being there
, but a lovely way to spend a bit of time refreshing fond memories.
My two trips to Harkers Island have been such great fun. I SHALL
RETURN I enjoyed the visit. My family is from Marshallburg and
Ocracoke. I am a daughter of Thomas Nelson of Marshallburg and Eleanor
Nell Howard of Ocracoke. My childhood was spent between these two
places and traveling all through all the small villages of Down
East. I enjoyed the site very much and it brought back many memories.
Both of my parents are buried at Marshallburg. As a big fan of waterfowl, I think I'll need to make my
way to your museum. What a great idea...site looks nice too great to see an old friend that has done well MISS MY TRIP TO HARKERS ISLAND AND ALL THE SWELL PEOPLE-

Very Good Site, Thankyou
ilove this page
I miss my Daddy a lot.I think how excited he would be if he could
see the progress that has been made here since he passed.I try to
visit as often as possible. I know like many others that maybe I should
spend a little more time watching our museum being apart of her.
excellent site, very informative I LIKE YOUR WEBSITE AND THE MUSEUM IS A VERY LOVELY PLACE,SURE MAKE ME
PROUD TO HAVE IT HERE ON THE ISLAND, ALSO I WILL BE SENDING A LOT
OF PEOPLE YOUR WAY. Great site. I had a great visit.
PS: You need a willow pond web cam :)
Been enjoying the site for sometime now. Clean, well designed, and thought out. My daughter Meredith said she was thinking of her grandfather
while we were building the skiff. My mind was on all the boat builders
that I have become aquainted with over the 52 years I've lived here.
When I smell juniper I remember walking in a boat house how it smelled.
Now you smell epoxy or fiberglass. We were under a little pressure
to finish the skiff by the end of the festival, but we did it. Many
of the old timers had to build a boat, and then work them to put
bread on the table. A strange thing happen building this skiff.
There were Guthries (Clifford & myself), a Willis (Hugh Jr.) and
a Rose (Jeff Jr.) that built her. I would like to thank the Museum
Staff for giving me this opportunity. My son told me it was the
best festival he had ever had. A special thanks to Jimmy Amspacher
for his help and I can't forget James Allen Rose, who gave us pointers,
and a pat on the back which is always heplful. What an experience
it was. My crew wants to build something different next year. As usual the Museum looked fabulous for this years show. I
was very excited about Waterfowl Weekend this year because my father
Heber and brother Clifford were going to build the skiff for this
year. It was fun going out of the building every hour and looking
at them to enjoying there selves and caring on a tradition that
has been in the Guthrie family for year and years. All I could think
about was my Grandfather Chauncey Guthrie the whole weekend.
I had a great visit!! Really nice site
Hate that we will be unable to attend the Decoy Festival in 2003. We will miss it. We will be back in 2004. Best wishes for a successful festival. Hey, Karen!
