2006.. Wallops' Mid-Atlantic spaceport launches first rocket; 1879.. Letter reflects on Ocean City after its first three seasons; 1961.. Berlin's mayor and mayor Willie Brandt of West Berlin, Germany connect on telephone; 1924.. U.S. President is surprise visitor at Crisfield church; 1847.. 25,000 bushels of it were reported to be stored at Snow Hill; what was it (a 3-letter word)?; and more from a 1902 article about Tangier Island.
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!
