13,000 and counting

Today, 9/19/23, The Pocomoke Public Eye published its' 13,000th posting.

Our history on the web began in 2009 with founder Tom Ayres (screen name: The Public Eye) assisted by the very capable and enthusiastic Brenda Wise (screen name: jmmb).  I joined in 2011 as a contributor.  Tom and Brenda have since passed. 

Our banner reads: "Family friendly and striving to be a worthy choice for your Internet browsing."  With that theme in mind can you or someone you know of share material with us on an occasional or regular basis?  It might be regarding a hobby or interest, local news or events, a recollection, an opinion, a wide range of subject matter- brief or lengthy.  

I'm looking forward to continuing my involvement with The Pocomoke Public Eye for many years to come but I'd love for there to be some folks on hand available to keep it going in the longer term.

Never knew Tom Ayres but have great memories of Brenda and Debbie from high school. I think I might have dated Brenda at one time but that would have been 56 years ago.

Remembering founder of The Pocomoke Public Eye

Sadly, we learned today of the passing of Tom Ayres. Tom started this Pocomoke Public Eye blog in May of 2009 and was later joined by the late Brenda Wise. I had the pleasure of working with Tom and Brenda when I joined as a contributor in April of 2011.

Our condolences to Tom's son Travis and to all of Tom's family.

It's not a secret, you can tell

                     

Well, probably not. But if you're viewing this perhaps you're one of our loyal readers who find The Pocomoke Public Eye blog a worthwhile family friendly stop in your internet travels. We don't solicit advertising or in any other way benefit financially from maintaining this site. Our efforts in keeping it going are strictly on a volunteer basis.

Maybe the thought of mentioning The Pocomoke Public Eye to others hasn't occurred to you.  If you might do that from time to time we'd be most appreciative. 

Thank you for visiting thepocomokepubliceye.blogspot.com  and, if possible, for helping to spread the word about us.

Remembering "JMMB" on June 11th

On June 11, 2014 The Pocomoke Public Eye's Brenda Wise

(screen name "JMMB") lost her serious health battle and we 

lost the spark plug of this blog site. In a posting here, PPE 

founder Tom Ayres commented that she loved "anything and

everything Pocomoke and the people of it."

"Somewhere Over The

Rainbow Bluebirds

fly.."

 JMMB's
 Pocomoke Public
Eye postings (April,
2008 to June, 2014)
kept us informed. 

There's More..

We don't have a big red button like above but here's a reminder that when you've scrolled through the Pocomoke Public Eye to where there's no more postings displayed just click on the bottom right hand corner of the screen where it rather inconspicuously says Older Posts and you can continue your journey on down the cyber highway. 

The Pocomoke Public Eye

Hi Pocomoke Public Eye readers.

Seven years ago this month I was invited to be a contributor to the Pocomoke Public Eye and I've thoroughly enjoyed sharing items stemming from my interest in searching newspaper archives. 

Unfortunately, circumstances of the past few years left The Pocomoke Public Eye without the services of PPE founder Tom Ayres, and the late Brenda Wise (JMMB) who worked so diligently and enthusiastically every day to keep things informative and interesting.

Although I wasn't able to devote the time to PPE that Tom and Brenda did I would have felt guilty not to try to at least keep it going to some extent. So that's what I've been doing these last several years with my weekly "Time Machine" postings and occasional fill-ins during the week. 

With the help of one or more additional contributors our Pocomoke Public Eye could be immensely enhanced.

Can you or someone you know contribute on an occasional or regular basis?  Items can be brief, lengthy, or in-between. All subjects in good taste are welcomed such  as Community News and Happenings, Opinions, Recollections, or specific interests you might be able to share in such areas as Sports, Fishing, Politics, History, Music, Gardening, Entertainment, Health, Technology, Science, Food & Cooking, Hobbies, etc.,etc.

Please contact me at tkforppe@yahoo.com .

Thank you for giving this consideration.
