"Twelve years ago, my wife and I made a faith-filled decision to call New Bern our home. The ensuing years have proven how correct that choice was for us. I'm pleased, of course, that our intuitive judgment has been supported by Time Magazine (March 8,1999) and Where to Retire Magazine (Summer 2000 and a Special Fifth Issue, November 2001) in which New Bern was featured as a "Best Town" based upon specific quality-of-living factors. Forbes is also to print an article on Eastern NC shortly. We who live here think we're very fortunate to be doing so, and I'll be glad to help you achieve the same."
