Va., on Nov. 1-5. Those who attended the MCAA Summer Executive Board Meeting at the Broadwater Beach have asked what damage the recent hurricane did to the facilities. We understand that the marina was almost a total loss, while the hotel sustained a very severe blow it will be back in operation within a few months. Would you believe, the golf courses, with the exception of tree damage, are ready to play. To correct the statement that fishing was not too good during our meeting-here are Evelyn Lonie and Louise Young proving that earlier in the day the fish were biting. But when that wind died down about eleven, they just weren't around to be caught.
