Hello,
North Carolina is a great state. I grew up in a small town in Virginia 7 miles from NC. On a clear day I could climb a mountain only a half mile from my house and see Pilot Mt. There was a gang of kids on my street and that was a thing we would do for fun, just to pass the time.
I went to Ridgecrest, NC to Baptist retreats when I was young and loved the country around there. That's why, when I looked at colleges I could afford and work part time, I chose Mars Hill Jr. college and graduated from there. I considered going into the ministry, but later fell by the wayside and majored in math.
My daughters both graduated from East Carolina with degrees in music and so I sent my money there for six years.
One daughter lives and works in Greensboro (at UNCG), so I'm down there all the time. (In fact I'll be there tonight for a concert that she is in)
So, its great to have you here, and we look forward to finding out more about North Carolina, the Tar Hill state.
