Grayden Paul Bridge Beaufort NC 1957 - 2018
The Grayden Paul legacy
The Grayden Paul Bridge was named in honor of the late Grayden Muir Paul, who died in 1994 and was considered as successor to Leslie Davis as Beaufort’s “town historian.” Born in Davis in 1899, the son of William Luther Paul and Emeline Willis, Mr. Paul and his family moved to Beaufort about 1911 and lived at 117 Moore St. Mr. Paul completed one year of college at Wake Forest College, and in 1921 he married Mary Clark Wilhelm (1899-1996). The couple had three children – Grayden Jr., Harry Allan and Mary Frazier Paul. By the 1940 census, Grayden Paul was noted as “operator of marine shop; repairs and sales.”
Mr. Paul went on to serve as mayor of Beaufort during World War II (1941-42) and was also on the town board and the Carteret County school board.
In 1960, he also helped organize the Beaufort Historical Association, of which he was finance chairman and business manager. He also came up with the idea for the re-enactments of the 1747 pirate invasion. As noted in a Carteret County News-Times article at the time of his death, “as Mr. Paul himself told it, the only way Beaufort knew for certain it had ever had any pirates ashore was because somebody had found an ancient bill to the town jail for beef to feed the Spanish pirates.”
Best known as a Beaufort storyteller, Mr. Paul started conducting tours as early as 1952. He became a highly visible, all-around Beaufort ambassador and “raconteur,” famous for his double-decker bus tours of the Beaufort historic district. In 1975, he and wife, Mary, co-authored Carteret County, NC: Folklore, Facts and Fiction. In 1976, Mr. Paul was honored by the Historic Preservation Society of North Carolina with an Award of Merit and was the first Beaufort resident ever honored with a key to the city. From 1960 until 1978, Mr. Paul operated schooner-rigged sharpie Alphonso, which he converted into a “Museum of the Sea,” dry-docked on Front Street at the south end of Pollock Street. That site is now Grayden Paul Park, which features a walk-in boat launching area for small craft and an elevated dock and bulkhead that borders Taylor’s Creek. A gazebo and picnic tables add to the amenities.
In a 2015 interview with nccoast, Grayden Paul Jr., now in his 90s, noted that there is talk of making a park where the old drawbridge comes ashore now and naming it after his father to keep the tradition alive.

Beaufort ( /ˈboʊfərt/ boh-fərt[3]) is a town in and the county seat of Carteret County, North Carolina, United States.[4] Established in 1709, it is the third-oldest town in North Carolina.[5][6] On February 1, 2012, Beaufort was ranked as America's Coolest Small Town by readers of Budget Travel Magazine.[7]
The population was 4,189 at the 2008 census. It is sometimes confused with a city of the same name in South Carolina; the two are distinguished by different pronunciations.[3]
Beaufort is located in North Carolina's Inner Banks region. The town is home to the North Carolina Maritime Museum, the Duke University Marine Laboratory (Nicholas School of the Environment), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research. It is also the location of the Rachel Carson Coastal Reserve.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Forrest (Tom Hanks) fits right into Army discipline and meets Bubba (Mykelti Williamson) who has a passion for shrimp.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother; Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam; Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp; and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.
