Now on the Delmarva Now frontpage: My childhood
I don’t know how many of you were Misty of Chincoteague fans growing up, but personally, I idolized Marguerite Henry and the characters she wrote about, and wanted my own Chincoteague pony when I grew up.
So I felt pretty much overwhelmed by nostalgia when I saw this story on Delmarva Now today. Apparently, Misty had grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, the last of whom is named Nightmist and still lives on the Beebe ranch where Misty grew up. Tomorrow, the ranch is celebrating Nightmist’s birthday during Pony Penning week, with food, cake and signings by authors of Chincoteague-related books. David Ladd, who starred in the Misty movie, will also be making an appearance.
I’m seriously tempted to show up myself, purely out of nostalgia.
