The Newsletter of the Foxfire Property Owners Association
Meet the Newcomers!
It might be a little too early to say that spring is in the air — but one thing’s for
certain, Foxfire Village is hopping these days! Lots are being cleared, new homes
are going up, houses on the market are … well, let’s just say things are looking a
tad healthier here, real-estate wise, than they were a few years ago. No wonder
we have so many new families to say hello to — as you’ll see in this first FoxTrax
of the new year. Many thanks go to our intrepid Newcomers Committee, Don
and Nancy Boito, for meeting, greeting and introducing us to our new neighbors.
So, in case you run into any of them, say hello to . . .
Bill and Karen Good
Bill and Karen Good moved into their
home at 11 Deer Track late last August.
They come to us from New Hampshire,
though they consider themselves
“Pittsburghers.”
Long, cold, snowy winters prompted
them to look south. They looked around
the area and found that Foxfire offered
bigger lots; was quiet; and importantly for
Karen, provided an easy route to work.
She is a teacher at the 9th Grade Academy
of Richmond County, in Hamlet. Bill
works for Conduent as a project manager,
and he is able to work from home.
Bill and Karen have two grown daugh-
ters, Megan, 27, who is recently married; and
Erica 23. Both live in Baltimore.
Bill would
like to get
back into
golf in the
spring. He
loves the
Pittsburgh
Penguins,
Pirates and
Steelers,
and follows
college
football.
Karen is
an avid
reader and
enjoys
genealogy.
Please welcome Karen and Bill to Foxfire.
Make your reservations for St. Patrick’s Day with the FPOA! See page 6

Meet the Newcomers!
Scott and Jennifer Dakin, and Bill and
Madelaine Singleton moved into their new
home at 15 Bobolink in November. Scott and
Jennifer came to Foxfire from Pinehurst, where
they resided for about a year; Bill and
Madelaine came from Connecticut.
Bill and Madelaine are Jennifer’s parents,
and they have moved in to help raise their
grandchildren, Coleton, 8, and Connor, 5. They
all share the house with their miniature
Schnauzer, Luna.
They chose to move to Foxfire because of
the lot size, and the peace and quiet they found
here.
Scott has been an active duty soldier for
eight years and is currently stationed at Fort
Bragg. Jennifer is a stay-at-home mom. Bill
calls himself “an old submariner” and is a
retired AT&T employee. Madelaine retired
from 30 years of nursing.
Scott likes to do most any outdoor activity,
and hopes to play some golf as well, while
Jennifer likes to read and cross-stitch. Bill likes
fishing and is looking for a good fishing spot.
Madelaine loves knitting and crocheting.
Please welcome the entire family to Foxfire
Village.
Bill and Ellen
Brock moved into
their home on 7
Ridge Road in
November. They
came to Foxfire to
be near their
daughter, Avery
Reed, her husband,
Eric, and their
grandchildren, who
live on Bobolink.
Bill and Ellen
moved here from
Middleton Place in
Southern Pines.
They have been residents of Moore County for
over 40 years. In addition to their daughter,
Avery, they have a son, Billy, who lives with
his family near Raeford. Bill and Ellen have
four grandchildren: Rebecca, Will, Nolan and
Blythe.

Bill is employed as a realtor for Berkshire
Hathaway, loves his work and has no plans to
retire. Ellen has retired after working for many
years.
Ellen loves to play bridge and mahjong, and
is looking forward to joining the bridge club
and starting a mahjong club as well. Both Bill
and Ellen are avid readers.
Please welcome Bill and Ellen to our
community.
Frank and Debra Noll moved into their new
house at 1 Pine Tree Terrace, also in Novem-
ber. Originally from Enola, Pennsylvania
(which they point out is ALONE spelled back-
ward!), Frank worked for Novitas Medicare
Solutions (Florida Blue Cross/Blue Shield),
and Debra worked for Highmark (PA Blue
Cross/Blue Shield). They had been living in
the area while their house was being built.
Both are
working
part time,
Debra for
Food Lion
and Frank
for Pine-
hurst CC
($5 golf is
a real
perk!).
They
chose
Foxfire
because
of our friendly people and small-town
atmosphere. Their son Derek and family live
here on South Shamrock. They also have a
daughter, Jody, who lives in York, Pennsyl-
vania. They have three grandsons here and a
granddaughter in York.
Frank is a golfer and a huge Raiders fan.
Both are big UNC basketball fans. They love
to walk and do yardwork, and enjoy sitting on
their porch and waving to neighbors as they
drive by.
Please welcome Frank and Debra to Foxfire
– and don’t forget to wave!
Lee and
Nancy Felice
moved into
their home on
1 Eliot Court
in September.
They are from
Philadelphia
and had origi-
nally looked
at building a
home in
Aberdeen, but
ultimately
chose Foxfire
Village. They
liked the lot
size and espe-
cially our community swimming pool.
Lee and Nancy have a daughter, Robin,
who lives with her husband, Greg, in

Hamlet. They have a son Patrick, who lives
with his wife, Lori, in Manhattan, Kansas; and
son Nick, who lives with his wife, Laura, in
East Brunswick, New Jersey. They have five
grandchildren ranging in age from 8 months to
21 years.
Lee and Nancy ran their own plumbing
business in Philadelphia. Lee is now working
for Kevin’s Elite Plumbing Service, while
Nancy has retired from the workforce
Lee is an outdoors guy who likes hunting
and fishing. Nancy likes to read, crochet blan-
kets and relax by the pool. They both enjoy
riding Lee’s motorcycle and once made a bike
trip to see their son in Kansas.
Please welcome Lee and Nancy to Foxfire
Village.

FPOA Membership Dues If you haven’t already done so, please renew your FPOA membership now. The dues help
offset a portion of the food costs at our annual events, which we hope encourages participation
— and in turn shows what a great community we have chosen to live in. As the village website
says: “Foxfire Village … Where there are no strangers, just friends you haven’t met yet!”
In addition, we encourage you to help us support our telephone directory – specifically, its
advertisers. The directory is the primary source of income for the FPOA. By patronizing the
advertisers found in the directory – and telling them that’s how you found them –you’re helping
the Board attract and retain these clients, and we all stand to benefit.
If you need to make a change to your listing in the directory, please contact Ginny Siedler.
Dues for 2018:
$ 15 Non-resident property owner membership
$ 25 Resident membership
$ 30 Social membership
Make check payable to FPOA and mail to Helen Kirk/Treasurer, 14 Bobolink Road,
Foxfire Village, NC 27281.
We appreciate your membership and support and encourage you to join today!

If you didn’t throw away the latest
Moore County Telephone Directory
to show up in your mailbox late last
year, you may have spotted the
photo of these four fine Foxfire
ladies in their vintage golf best on
the back cover of the directory
(below). Foxfire Golf’s very own
leprechaun, Sean Desmond, worked
with Lane Dentistry, who supplied
the vintage clothing, set up the
photo shoot, arranged for the classic
auto, and took “hundreds!” of shots
of the fab four (from left, Leslie
Frusco, Ginny Siedler, Shirlee
Sanderson and Sue Sedlak). The
photo at left is one of their favorite
outtakes. Looking good, ladies!
