Welcome to Harry Wilson's Page!
I am a native North Carolinian, which makes me a
Tar Heel. I am also a Tar Heel by education--a graduate of UNC-Chapel
Hill undergraduate and law schools. My wife I live in
Wake County where we enjoy gardening, travel, genealogy, and the
pleasure of country living. (For non-natives, the cardinal is our state
bird.)
Several years ago we had a pond built and it
provides a constant source of enjoyment for fishing, relaxing, or
observing wildlife. Over the years I have been building and erecting
wood duck nesting boxes, and each winter and spring numerous pairs of
"woodies" reward my efforts by nesting here. (I couldn't
resist this photo to show off the gorgeous male.) Click
here to check out the wildlife. Now in the second week of
February, we had 14 ducks visit us this morning. One hen has begun laying eggs.
Our family of cats allows us to share the house
with them. They have claimed credit for the bumper sticker that reads
"The more people I meet, the more I like my cat." They have
never heard of Will Rogers and they refuse to listen when I try to tell
them.
Gardening--whether flowers, fruits, or
vegetables--presents unique challenges but also special rewards. Or at
least the flowers do--my wife looks after them. The other things have yet
to learn how to thrive on neglect. Like to know more? Click

I am curious about my ancestors. Although I have
never met most of them, I have at least come to know many of
them. They are about what you might expect for a family--some very nice,
some not as nice, but all making their own contributions to make me what
I am today. Click here to meet them.
My work with the State Board of Education
kept me busy until I managed to retire. (This is an actual photo of me at work!)
My
wife and I enjoy reading. She especially enjoys
murder mysteries and that gives me the willies for some reason.
Personally, I prefer history.
We belong to Zebulon Baptist Church and really feel
at home there (especially since we are both transplanted from elsewhere
in the state). Click here
