TIME MACHINE ... This Sunday's Preview

 
1958.. 120 Descendants Left By Accomac Centenarian; 1943.. Pay raise for Maryland teachers earning less than $3,000 a year; 1911- Wife of Pocomoke City bank president reports threats; 1899.. New Maryland governor is from Snow Hill; 1903.. The value of white wash. 
 
Although you may not find all of these these items in a history book, they are a part of our local history and you can read more about it this Sunday right here at The Pocomoke Public Eye! 


Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about? It can be just a line or two, or more if you wish. Send to tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!

I can remember back in the '60s the starting pay for a teacher in our county was $7,500 and everybody thought that was great!

Remember John Yankus? He was City Manager for Pocomoke before taking the job as County Administrator. His salary from county was also $7,500!
