Abstract:

Hugh Morton is a strong promoter of North Carolina. He is world-famous not only as the developer and promoter of Grandfather Mountain but also as the champion of numerous causes that have affected the lives of nearly every citizen of this state. His current project is working to persuade Congress to do something about acid rain. In years past “he served on the Board of Conservation and Development during the Umstead, Hodges, and Kerr Scott administrations. Terry Sanford chose him to head up the USS North Carolina Battleship Commission. Jim Hunt named him Chairman of the Governor's Advisory Committee on Travel and Tourism.” Morton, a world-class photographer, is profiled in NORTH CAROLINA magazine's “executive profile.”
