Elizabeth City was dropped when I was a little girl. Fox Hill is now Hampton, VA which is
15 min. from Norfolk and 45 min. from VA Beach. There was a city on the other side of
Newport News call Warwick, VA. They dropped the Warwick and made it into Newport News
which made Newport News bigger. Newport News Shipyard has a lot of Navy ships comes in
with the Navy guys and they stay in a hotel til the ship gets repaired. The farmland is
mostly in Newport News but they keep doing away with it. Yorktown Naval and Norfolk Naval
is still there. Fort Monroe, VA which is in Phoebus, VA which is 10 min. from Hampton.
That is the Army base. The Langley AFB in Hampton is still there and Fort Eustis, VA
(Army) which is on the edge of Newport News and Yorktown is still there. Syms-Eaton School
is near Armstead Ave in Hampton. That school is now the School Board and classes for the
GED and test. Gloria
