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!
