Abstract:
Only twice in the state's history have both a father and his son held the governorship. In the early days it was Robert Dobbs Spaight and R. D. Spaight, Jr. of Craven County. In recent times it was William Kerr Scott of Alamance County, 1949-1953, and his son Robert Walter Scott, 1969-1973. The younger Scott relates some of his memories of his father.
