Starting Line
The actual start of
Whitbread Race
leaving Annapolis,
MD. Notice the smoke
from the starting
gun on the distant
U.S. Coast Guard
cutter which sports
the colorful flags
of a regatta. Volvo
and Volvo Cars took
over the sponsorship
of the race in
2001-2002 and
renamed it the Volvo
Ocean Race.
Stopovers were added
in Germany, France
and Sweden, Volvo's
three biggest car
markets in Europe.
The word "Volvo"
appeared on the boom
of every entry.

Keeper
Originals: Watercolor
Paintings and Prints was
formed in 2003 after the
artist, Lloyd Childers,
left her lighthouse
keeping duties on the
Outer Banks and retired
to Hampstead, NC, near
Wilmington, to begin
painting in earnest.
After a career in State
Government, she moved to
Corolla on the Outer
Banks as the lighthouse
keeper for Currituck
Beach Lighthouse and
executive director of
Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc.,
the nonprofit group that
restored the keepers'
house, lighthouse and
lighthouse compound in
Corolla. Having been a
"keeper" for five years
and hoping that her
paintings would be
"keepers" the name
Keeper Originals seemed
fitting. Lloyd enjoys
the watercolor medium
for her paintings, which
she has professionally
reproduced in art prints
of various sizes and
note cards. The art
prints are handsomely
matted to fit standard
sized frames.
