CAPE FEAR MEMORIAL BRIDGE: Updates, resources, and context

A Sangria Lesson from Paco Strickland

Brownie Harris Photography

William "Paco" Strickland was known for his exceptional talent as a flamenco guitarist. But Commentator Shane Fernando most remembers a moment in the kitchen with Paco, and shares it with us today.    

Commentaries here on WHQR.org don't necessarily reflect the views of WHQR Radio, its editorial staff, or its members.

Shane Fernando grew up in Wilmington, NC, being an avid WHQR listener during his childhood during the station's first years. He also served as WHQR's first intern. After graduation from UNCW in 2000, where he spearheaded the project and fundraising for the UNCW Millennium Clock Tower, he moved to Washington, DC to work in the U.S. Senate. In 2005, Shane returned to Wilmington, receiving his master's degree in Public Administration.
