Reunion in Chapel Hill

Posted Oct 3, 2019
My story in Chapel Hill began in the fall of 1989, when I moved into the Morrison dormitory on the southern UNC campus. For a country boy born and raised in Wilkes County, it was an eye-opening experience. The first friendships I formed at Carolina were, naturally, with the fellow freshmen who lived with me in our eight-man suite at Morrison. (Wilkes Journal-Patriot)
