2023

Another classmate contemplating a move south is Murray deMuth, who, with wife Susan, has been scoping out possible retirement enclaves from Key West to Charleston to Annapolis. Among the front runners: Oriental, North Carolina, a small but nautical garden spot on the Neuse River/Pamlico Sound that would more than fulfill Murray’s desire to be on the water and Susan’s passion for the golf links. (I also told him to check with Ray Cameron, who spent many happy years living in Oriental until he and Heather pulled up stakes in recent years and traded life on the Neuse for life with the moose.) Murray’s TWT fishing charters (twtfishingcharters.com) is gearing up again after a few fishing seasons lulled by COVID, so if you’re in the mood for anything from a day cruising on the Bay to offshore deep sea, check out TWT.
