I hope you enjoyed looking over these photo's as much as I enjoyed showing them to you.
My name is Irish Willis Peele Engel (aka: Wili) and my husband is Harry R. Engel, Jr. Together we own and operate Hatteras Silkscreen. These are but a few photo's of family and friends.
We spent many of our childhood years in Hatteras Village with my father's family. My father was Mike Peele and my paternal grandparents were Frazier and Viola Peele. My father taught marine biology in several Norfolk high schools in the winter and ran sportfishing charterboats in the summer months. My grandad was actively involved in a number of notable business endeavors on Hatteras Island before his untimely death in an auto accident in Frisco 1967. Most notable was probably the Hatteras - Ocracoke ferry service (which he sold to the state in the late fifties). Some other interesting ventures include building a pier in the sound just over the Hyde county line (so they could legally sell alcohol) known as Frazier's pier, the electric service he sold to the local village residents, Capt. Peele's restaurant (now known as Sunny's), and an assortment of seafood distributing services.
