Remembering the Honorable Virginia Simmons Tillett

I write today with immense sadness upon notification of the passing of the Honorable Virginia Simmons Tillett, a trailblazer in Eastern North Carolina politics. She served Dare County for over thirty years with pride and distinction. However, Ms. Tillet was much more than just an elected official. She was an educator, historian, mother, grandmother, friend, and mentor to many (including myself). Ms. Tillett revived the history of the Freedmen of Roanoke Colony, AKA "The other lost colony."

Becton pledges to continue to improve the overall safety of the campus and will work on improving the sharp decline in enrollment. "There is still time to savage this year" he said referring to enrollment. For ...
