Senator Brown dedicated the bill to Hugh Morton, a native North Carolinian, renown photojournalist and active environmentalist who is best described in “About the Author” at: http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/t-7123.html.
“ Hugh Morton, president of Grandfather Mountain, has received numerous awards for his public service, conservation efforts, and journalistic contributions to his native state of North Carolina. He is a 2003 recipient of the John Tyler Caldwell Award for the Humanities, the highest honor given by the North Carolina Humanities Council. His photographs have appeared in numerous magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated, and hang in nearly every visitor center along North Carolina's highways. His well-known photograph of the Blue Ridge Parkway Viaduct appears on the cover of Rand McNally's 2000 Road Atlas of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.”
