Stick, David

Abstract:

Stick details how the famous sand dunes of Dare County were formed through the movement of drifting sand that settled against the former coastal woods. It has been discovered that these dunes also roamed, shifting down the Banks by winds and tides, while current experiments with Bermuda grass are attempting to anchor the moving sands.

Abstract:

George V. Denny Jr. was born in Washington, Beaufort County and attended UNC at Chapel Hill. A member of the the Carolina Playmakers, he tried Broadway, and realized he couldn't make a living for his family acting on Broadway. Denny conceived a unique program in 1935--the NBC Town-Meetings-of-the-air, one of radio's first talk shows. Based on the old town meetings of early America, the program sought to bring to listeners various perspectives on the issues of the day.
