Thank you for your interest in our family.  My name is Chuck Schoonover and my wife is Trish Brown.  We live in Wilmington, N.C. and count our blessings every day to live in such a wonderful location.  In the Spring the area explodes in color with the multitudes of blooming Azaleas.  Our Summers are filled with fun in the surf and sun.  Come Fall there are plenty of craft and street fairs to keep Trish busy while I watch NCSU Wolfpack Football.  Although our summers are hot, our winters are mostly mild.  It's not uncommon to stroll on the beach in December with the sun shining bright, the sky blue and the temperatures in the 70's.  We will try to give the feel of  this area throughout this site and show you a little about us as well.

Aren't we such a cute couple.  Well, at least, she is beautiful.  OK, I agree, I am also a handsome and debonair groom.

Here we are ready to enjoy another beautiful day in North Carolina.  It may be hard to see, but both girls are in the stroller

Here we are playing near the marsh where the Inlet meets the ocean.  This was the weekend before Christmas '97.  Dasher, our dog loves it to.
