Inside a Carteret County community room, the Salter Path gospel choir belts out "Precious memories, how they linger." 

 "How they ever flood my soul/' the group continues, while the audience members sing along and tap their feet. "In the 

 stillness of the midnight, precious, sacred scenes unfold, precious, sacred scenes unfold." 



For many Bogue Banks natives in the audience, this song brings flashbacks of a bygone era when everyone knew each 

 other on a first-name basis.
