GREETING '96 IN GRADATIONS OF GRAY

ILLUSTRATION: Color photo by DREW C. WILSON/The Virginian-Pilot

With fog rolling over the surf before him, and oceanfront cottages

battered by Atlantic storms standing - barely - behind him, Joe

Evanoff, 42, of Southern Shores tries a few casts along the Kitty

Hawk beach on a gray New Year's Day on the Outer Banks.
