Quimby Cassius Reynolds has broken the sound barrier.
Almost totally deaf since childhood, the 88-year-old Wilmington resident has found his own way to a happy, fulfilling life. He brings an unyielding yet jovial spirit to the task.

The Cape Fear region abounds with day trip destinations from historical to recreational to relaxing. On Bald Head Island, located just off the coast near Southport, you can find all three. Because there are no cars on the island, a day trip allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of mainland life and connect with the island’s varied environments. Explore the island by electric golf cart, by bicycle or on foot and discover the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, 14 miles of gorgeous beaches and the peace and quiet not often found in a day trip.
