Charlie Jones died Thursday, February 9, at his home in Michigan. Charlie was one of five children of Sam Jones and Mary Ruth Kelly (see our Ocracoke Newsletter for January, 2011: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news012111.htm). Paul Dickson had this to say about his father-in-law's connection with Ocracoke: "Having spent many summers there growing up, he has fond memories of the island and remembers many of the stories you have been relating via the blog. One of his favorites was the story about the mail boat Aleta which he spent many hours on throughout his visits there....I spent my last visit with him last Sunday reading the Ocracoke Journal to him as I had done many times over the last year or so. It was our special connection "
Philip & Charlie Jones
Farewell, Murray and Charlie.
