Woody Durham and Bill Hoover: Friendship of a lifetime

Posted Apr 16, 2018
Woody Durham, Bill Hoover, and their wives were preparing for a cotillion in which there would be a costume contest. “Woody got the warm-up suits of UNC’s 1957 national championship basketball team,” Bill recalled. “We dressed in the warm-ups and Woody was in a suit as Coach Frank McGuire. We tied for first place. I still don’t know how he got those warm-ups.” (Asheboro Courier-Tribune)
