It was a beautiful place for a car show, in the park next to the WWII
battleship USS NORTH CAROLINA, across the Cape Fear River from downtown
Wilmington, and the weather couldn't have been better. It certainly was
nice to meet Carol and her husband, and to see Ed from Raleigh again.
There were some great cars on display, but I continue to be amazed at the
lack of Big Healeys at shows this season. Congratulations to Carol and her
wonderful Bugeye for taking the first place award in the Healey class.
