Remembering…Michael E. McGee Our friend Mike McGee was freed from his ravaging struggle from cancer last February. He left us tooyoung, at 60 years of age. Mike served for many years as the Chief of Facility Management at Cape LookoutNational Seashore. My first encounter with Mike was as the incoming Superintendent of Cape Lookout. We were boat-ing over to Portsmouth to attend a Friends of Portsmouth meeting. Naively wearing my dress pants and myrecently polished dress shoes, Mike was insistent that we boat the entire distance rather than take the North Carolina Ferry to Oc-racoke. The Pamlico was rough that day. Holding on tightly and soaked by the saltwater, I wondered wheth-er we would arrive safely. While the water was rough, Mike as always was calm and collected. He talked theentire trip, although between his thick Down East brogue and the roar of the boat’s engine, I was only ableto understand every third word or so. Six months later as I reminded Mike about that day, he laughed and laughed as he told me that he didthis to quickly teach me how difficult it could be to get supplies and people over to the Banks. He said, “You learned quickly as you have never ques-tioned me about that.” Mike taught this dingbatter much more than that. He helped me to understand the wonderful, rich heritage of Down East. He taught me not to fear but to embrace the impassioned folks of Down East. He reminded me that my job was not only to preserve the land but to also preserve the way of life of the people of Down East. Mike at times conveyed a tough, crusty exterior but we all knew that beneath that rough façade was a soft, caring heart. After Hurricane Isabel rolled across Core Banks, the park was devastated. Mike was the first to suggest the wonderful idea of using storm displaced fisherman to help with our emergency recovery efforts. Mike was a friend to the Shackelford Horses and the impassioned Foundation members who care for them. He was afriend to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum helping in innumerable ways to help, be it the trails, the building, the shed for the Jean Dale or support forspecial events. He was an active supporter of Meals on Wheels. He was a friend to Down East and a friend of mine. I learned to understand and appreciate that thickDown East brogue of Mike McGee and only wish I could hear it again! Bob Vogel 53

CORE SOUND WATERFOWL WEEKENDFriday Night Honors the Ramsey Family of Harkers Island Every year the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center takes a look at those who have made our many successes possible, thoseindividuals and families who have given in extraordinary ways to our cause and helped make the Core Sound Museum a reality for Down East and Carteret County. It has become our tradition to honor those contributions of time and resources during our Week- end Friday Night Preview. This year, as we launch our 25th Anniversary year, it is important to recognize contributors that have given from the beginning and continued throughout the museum’s construction and development. The Ramsey Family’s sup- port has been just from the beginning until today and therefore, the board has selected THE RAMSEY FAMILY as the Friday Night honorees. The Ramsey Family came to Harkers Island in the 1960s to work and work they did. From managing a small motel and marina to the establish-ment of one of Harkers Island’s most beloved gathering places, Cab and Barbara Ramsey put in long hours to become successful business leadersDown East. Their son Randy, and his wife Tiffany, continue that giving with the same sense of service and giving that his parents valued. The Ramsey Family was one of the critical early leaders of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. Randy, now owner of Jarrett Bay Boatworksand lifelong board member for the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, brought significant contributions to the Mu-seum’s capital campaign in its first year. Those gifts helped give credibility to the “vision” of a Waterfowl Museum onHarkers Island and his giving has not waivered. Randy and Tiffany’s commitment to others reaches across the county, region and state. The recently opened“Ramsey Center” on Harkers Island, home to “The Bridge Down East,” is a testament to their commitment to theyoung people of our area. The Ramsey Family’s support includes giving to local schools, bands and scout groups, Habi-tat for Humanity, the Crystal Coast Hospice House and NC State University. In appreciation for Cab and Barbara Ramsey’s legacy, and Randy and Tiffany’s continuing investments oftime and resources to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center and many other worthy projects inCarteret County and beyond, the Ramsey Family has been selected the Friday Night Honoree for the 2016 Water-fowl Weekend. 55
