Southport Picnic – September 25

Several of us met on a very beautiful day in downtown Southport. We had to adjust our plans as there was a car show right where I had planned to meet. Oops! Normally Southport is pretty sleepy.

Last minute efforts to notify all on the list to attend (by email) may have come out a bit late. Sorry to all affected. We had our own difficulties as the Fort Fisher Ferry we had planned to take was inoperative and we had to drive around. Oops again!

Regardless, we had a very nice time at Kingsley St. Park – a few blocks north of our planned destination. Attending were Don and Mary Sue Wahl, Brenda and Bob Hagerman, David Tousignant and us, Rebecca and Paul Reinmann. We also met Matthew Lawrence and Nancy Campbell  there and they are joining our club. Welcome Matthew and Nancy!
