"A Wilmington native, Claude Howell was instrumental in establishing the art department at UNCW and for many years was the southern voice in the early days of WHQR commentaries. He knew Wilmington as few did."

Wilmington, NC – In remembrance of Claude Howell, Nan Graham paints a portrait of the man and artist, as she ponders about his reincarnation... into a frog.

Nan Graham's WHQR commentaries can be read in her two books, "Turn South at the Next Magnolia" and "In a Magnolia Minute." Her website is nangraham.com

Nan Graham has deep roots in Alabama and Carolina soil.
