Old Notecards Reprinted To Mark Assateague Island Anniversary
BERLIN – Fans of Assateague Island National Seashore will have a chance to show their support in 2015 through the purchase of vintage notecards reprinted in honor of the park’s 50thanniversary.
In January, vintage notecards featuring scenes from throughout the island will go on sale to benefit the national park, which was established in 1965. The cards are reprints of those sent out decades ago by Mabel and Churchill Hungerford, owners of one of the last active homes on the island.
“We thought people would be as enamored with the images as we were,” said Ashlie Kozlowski, outreach coordinator for Assateague Island Alliance (AIA). “They’re special.”
During WW2 members of my family (and a lot of other people)would go to Assateague Island & collect Seagull eggs.The war effort had depleted the supply of chicken eggs in the states & believe it or not Seagull eggs worked just fine and tasted almost the same.
Turkey eggs are the very best,but harder to find because of the demand for turkeys during the holidays.Usually they can only be purchased a couple months per year but are outstanding in baked products.Sorry,I didn't mean to get sidetracked from the post.
