I have to begin by thanking the friends who got me started on this adventure. Susan Taylor Block gave me the idea of collecting postcards to get some vintage pictures of Carolina Beach and thereby planting seeds of a history quest. She also recommended me to Arcadia Publishing to do this book. Beverly Tetterton encouraged and helped me with the postcard collecting, taught me how to do research, and has been an invaluable resource. Ann Hutteman edited the text and did my bibliography and index. Her postcard book of Wilmington was a wonderful example to follow. Without the vast collection of newspaper clippings in the Bill Reaves Files at the New Hanover County Public Librarys North Carolina Room, this project would not have been possible. The Federal Point Historical Preservation Society was very supportive, especially Leslie and Darlene Bright, who helped with proofreading and contributed their vast knowledge of Federal Point, advice, and proofreading. Diane Cashman was always in the wings when I needed her. My editor, Maggie Bullwinkel, at Arcadia Publishing listened, advised, encouraged, and supported me every step of the way. I have interviewed and talked to many people; many have also loaned precious family images and postcards to me for use in this book. I am deeply indebted to Bill Auld, Andy Canoutas, Jennie Kure Robertson Bagley, Doris Bame, Dennis Barbour, Lynn and Jimmy Benson, Gil Burnett, Wayne Bowman, Ann Plummer Corr, Eddie Capel, Frances and Bob Doetsch, Kendall and Gary Doetsch, Dr. Chris Fonvielle, Carol Sessoms Ford, Griff Fountain, Jim Fountain, Charles Tommy Green, Albert Jewell, Rachel Johnson, Willard Killough III, Lank and Genie Lancaster, Mildred and Malcolm McIver, Jasmine McKee, Dr. Byron and Judy Cumber Moore, Norm Melton, Earl Page, Allen Pennington, Nancy Adams Potts, Mike Robertson, Lynda McIver Whitted, Capt. Skippy Winner, and Edward Worrell. A special thanks to my friend Mary Kathryn and her prayers to St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost causes and sometimes photographs. A special thanks also to Fran Doetsch, who never gave up looking. And lastly, thanks to my family and friends who were always there for me, especially my children, Tyler and Meg, and my husband, Skip.

GREETINGS FROM, LARGE LETTER. During the 1930s and 1940s, large letter postcards became very popular. The name was spelled out with views of a particular town or state inside large three-dimensional letters. The large letters were usually preceded with the words Greetings from. The early ones had plain backgrounds like this one.
ENVELOPE CARD. A nautical rope forms a flap on this linen card to make it look like an envelope. The pictures depict boats, the beach, and the ocean, all scenes waiting for visitors in Carolina Beach. The space for the stamp on the back says that a 1 stamp is required, earning cards from this era the nickname penny postcards.
CAROLINAS PLAYGROUND. An aunt and uncle sent this card to their young nephew in Granite Quarry, North Carolina, during the summer of 1945. They personalized the front by writing their names on the pictures. Over the fisherman on the top left is Uncle Raymond; under the fourth one of the girls running out of the ocean in the center is Aunt Viola.
CAROLINAS PLAYGROUND. By the mid-1940s, the backgrounds of large letter cards began to fill up with pictures, adding to those inside the letters. A special Carolina Beach edition of Wilmington Evening Post announcing the formal opening of the 1946 beach season stated that 500,000 postcards of beach scenes were sold there last season.
SCENES AT .... The phrase Carolina Beach, The Souths Miracle Beach is often found on cards after the devastating boardwalk fire on September 19, 1940. The fact that they were able to rebuild over two blocks from ashes and rubble before the 1941 beach season was truly a miracle. The town was proud enough to make it a slogan for many years afterward. This card was postmarked in 1951.
SOUVENIR FOLDER. The card above has solid large letters with the pictures in the background divided into triangles with art deco flair. It is not really a card, but the front of a souvenir folder of several scenes, including the boardwalk, the Atlantic Ocean under a full moon, the beach, surf fishing, the Fresh Water Lake, and lots of bathing beauties. Below is the back of the folder with a beauty on an inflatable rubber horse. At the bottom it says, The Souths Miracle Beach. It was mailed to Kannapolis, North Carolina, on August 1, 1947, and required two 1 stamps.
