hhh, summer – a season of outdoor fun and travel for a change of pace. This issue is packed with inspiration to have your best summer yet; you’ll find familyfriendly things to do, places to see and people to meet, starting on page 58 with Heather Cassese, a chiropractor in Pittsboro who often spends her day off atop a paddleboard at Jordan Lake. Flip the page to discover recommendations for summer reads from Circle City Books & Music’s Myles Friedman. The athletic at heart will enjoy reading about the pickleball trend, a great way for older adults in our communities to stay active. Read about a few local players on page 96. Dancing with members of the Chatham Social Club (page 104) is another form of exercise for mind and body. Keep reading to learn more about a select few individuals who immerse themselves in what they love, like woodworker Roy Underhill, 72, who will close the Woodwright’s School in downtown Pittsboro in August. Rather than truly “retire,” he will pursue historical research as he writes a new book. Then, there is Roger Berkowitz, 78, a retired art museum director who reenergized Galloway Ridge with an exceptional art collection. Lastly, I want to introduce you to our new managing editor, Morgan Cartier Weston. She grew up in Wake County, but fell in love with Chatham as a child when she visited her aunt and uncle, who have lived in Pittsboro for more than 25 years. Morgan moved to Fearrington Village in 2020, and brings a wealth of experience as she adds a savvy dimension to our growing audience in print and online. As for me, I am following my own passion and expanding my role as a writer to create content for all the magazines published by Triangle Media Partners. Thank you for your continued heartfelt support, and may the sun shine warmly upon you this season and beyond. CM
