Coffee At Birkdale

Car of the Day:

1964 – 1973 Ford Mustang Convertible

Character of the Day:

Dills – Wrong Way Longfellow

With a beard like that and name like Dills it’s heard to guess the story I was about to hear. Turns out that Dills was born and raised in Ohio. At the age of eight he moved to NC due to his father’s new job with First Union (which eventually was purchased by Wachovia). He attended Hopewell High School and is currently at UNC Charlotte getting a degree in Computer Science. At first glance it’s easy to see that Dills enjoys the outdoors, he’s a certified Eagle Scout. Even though occasionally he’s been known to travel down the wrong path on a hike, hence his nickname Wrong Way Longfellow. What’s less obvious is his ease with numbers, currently he works as an assistant bookkeeper at BI-LO. “It’s mostly data entry but it’s numbers and computers which is OK” he said. Ideally, his dream job consists of coding business to business software. He doesn’t stay glued behind the screen all day… in his spare time he enjoys kayaking. Dills’ laid back personality and quiet persona made for good company at the coffee shop. I look forward to seeing him in the future. His favorite thing about Birkdale… “The atmosphere”.
