John Morgan was born and raised in Washington, North Carolina, and spent summers at Hatteras, NC, with his maternal grandparents, Irv and Janette Stowe. He retired in 1992 from the Beaufort County Register of Deeds office where he served for 28 years. | |
| Prior to being elected to the Register of Deeds office, John was Sports Editor of The Washington Daily News in his home town for thirteen and one-half years, and prior to that worked as a broadcaster on two local radio stations. This background gives John a wide perspective in remembering events that helped shape the Pamlico and Outer Banks, especially the rapid changes that have taken place during the last 50 years. From his personal experiences and his association with the people, not only of his home area, but of the Outer Banks and statewide, he has accumulated a wealth of material which is incorporated in this work covering a notable era in the history of the Pamlico and Outer Banks area. We hope the reader will gain from it some information about the area they may not have heard or read about before. | ||
