Ercoupe plane with two boughs of
holly and flew them to Tangier, giving
one to Swain Memorial UM Church and
the other to New Testament Church.
Adventure and generosity guided
Nabb's life. He was elected to the Marine
Racing Hall of Fame in 1947 and funded
thousands of dollars in scholarships.
Today, after Nabb passed away in 2002,
Ed Nabb Jr. is an honored guest as pilots
depart from the Stevensville, Maryland,
airport with numerous bags of holly and
more than 100 passengers, one of whom
is always Santa Claus, bearing gifts for
the island's youth.
For more than 30 years the group was
always met at the airport by Mrs. Virginia
" Ginny " Marshall, who led the pilots and
their passengers to Swain Memorial UM
Church, where a large crowd would
gather. Mrs. Marshall would lead a
discussion of life on Tangier.
Now 90 and no longer able to greet
the pilots, Mrs. Marshall fondly recalls
those early days of the Holly Run.
" Mr. Nabb was just a wonderful man, "
she says. " I often had him here to the
house for lunch. We looked forward
to his visit every year, and I know he
enjoyed coming to Tangier with the
holly each Christmas. "
The group piles into Lorraine's for
lunch after delivering the holly to the
churches. Lorraine Marshall is Mrs.
Marshall's daughter and recalls waiting
on Ed Nabb when he first started making
his visits to the island.
'Tangier is like one big
family, so naturally we
celebrate Christmas by
including everyone we can.'
" He just had a big heart and enjoyed
helping others, " says Mrs. Marshall,
whose daughter, Jamie Parks, also works
in the restaurant. " We enjoy having the
pilots here each year. It really starts the
Christmas season for us. "

Hedy Bowden, 70, also has been among
the Holly Run greeters delegation for over
30 years and continues today, usually
escorting Santa Claus to the church on
her golf cart. " All the kids on the island
look forward to the day and gather at the
airport to see Santa come off the plane, "
she says. " We take Santa to visit any kids
who are sick and unable to make it to
the airport. It's a wonderful thing they
do for the island. "
