PRESERVATION SCHOOL MEMBERS of Edgecombe Community College returned to Chicamacomico to complete some window repairs they had started earlier in November. Actually, the weather was much better this time! Instructer Benjamin Curran is in the foreground and program director Monika Fleming is further back working on a window in the 1911 Life-Saving Station. The older and more ornate 1874 Life-Saving Station is seen partially in the background. These instructors were accompanied by three hard-working students from this school located in Tarboro. All of their work is strictly voluntary, very much needed and very much appreciated. The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Historic Site & Museum is one of the many sites on the Historic Albemarle Tour and the National Outer Banks Scenic Byway.
