Just Carolina from 1663 until 1712 when our sister state split. But who cares about a few details? I live in Mississippi now.

Polaris was the name of the nuclear missile carried by the U.S. Navy’s ballistic missile submarines in the 1960’s and not, as mistakenly thought, the name of a specific submarine. The idea came from Captain Walter F Schlech of the USS Proteus AS19 who was Commander of the submarine squadron.

Currently retired and enjoying life, cruising a good bit in various venues around the world.

Fascinating history! I'm a Murray and interestingly many of the Murray Clan settled in North Carolina. I'm in the process of conducting research on this topic. Welcome to the rabble!
