WALL OF FAME! Thanks for your valuable time and donations!
- In honor of, and with respect to: James Eugene Wilson (Gene), The Frying Pan Tower wishes to thank his family for their support of our restoration efforts. Gene was the Captain of the Dreamcatcher and the Hook up out of Wilmington for more than 10 years, and the tower was his favorite place to fish. He was a retired Deputy from Davie County Sheriff's Department who fought a long battle with Pancreatic Cancer. It was truly his dream to stay on the tower and we thank his family, Kathy Wilson and Jeannette Craver for their help and honor Gene for his service to the community.
in honor of James Eugene Wilson
