I remember Pat Core very well. She was living on The Circle and I was on White Oak Rd. I would describe her as very proper and more mature than the average teenager. I invited her on a Wrightsville Beach trip while attending St Michael´s Episcopal Church and she had a good time. I only ran in to her a couple of times after graduation. Condolences to her family, especially her children and grandchildren. I know they will miss her.
