TIME MACHINE ... This Sunday's Preview

1914.. A hundred years ago this summer- the Eastern Shore of Virginia's "Stream of Gold"; 1965.. Pocomolke City Woman Wins State Golf Championship; 1909.. Worcester County teachers threaten suit in pay dispute; 1939.. Signs for new Maryland speed limits being erected; 1870.. A strange tale about disabled Somerset County woman's remarkable 50th birthday; and more from an article of 112 years ago about Tangier Island and its residents.

Although you may not find all of 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!
