Someone mentioned Dr. Dallas Herring's home library. Although the library in this home is MAGNIFICENT, Dr. Herring himself is the gem of the library. Dr. Herring has transformed a Carolina Cottage into a small English Tudor style castle. When you enter the home, you are no longer in 1999, you have been transported back hundreds of years to a front hallway which boasts of portraits of well known men in North Carolina's early years and (I think) some from England.The salutes to today's world lies in the presence of the computer and the zerox machine. Dr. Herring was a driving force in the beginning history of the Community College System in North Carolina. He is a veritable font of information and loves to share with serious researchers. Dr. Herring is a gentleman from the old days. He wears a suit and white shirt and bowtie while receiving guests in his home. He is most gracious and those of us in eastern North Carolina owe him so much because of his fine collection. Do contact him and go for a day of research and meet this very fine man!
