Morton on Carolina's Mind

Posted Jan 6, 2006

Thousands of Carolina fans know Hugh Morton even if they've never met him. One of the most influential North Carolinians of our time, Morton is best-known as the owner of Grandfather Mountain, the popular Western North Carolina attraction. But for Tar Heel fans, he carries added significance, as he's been taking pictures of Carolina athletic events for over half a century....He's coming back to Chapel Hill on Jan. 8, but this time it won't be for something as trivial as games.
