Hugh Morton's golf outing endures
Posted May 19, 2017
Hugh Morton, who died in 2006, is remembered for many things. He was the owner of Grandfather Mountain. He was a major force in the North Carolina Tourism Industry. He was a leading environmentalist, who helped lead the campaign against acid rain in the 80’s and 90’s. And of course he was a photographer extraodinaire. But “The Outing,” his outing, was a creation Morton held dear.
