With the NCTA members being the beneficiariesof the HammocksProperty and having projected new plans of development,it is conceivablethat the destiny of the NCTA is interwoven into two dimensions: I - Operating under one strong State Association- The North Carolina Associationof Educators, fnc. 2 - Developing and operating the HammocksBeach Corporation as a separateCountry Club Resort.

This description indeed fits the beach island with its beautilul sand dooms and drift wood. The white sand dooms are some of the most beeuti- ful to be found anywhere in the world.

To escape from the rigons of his practice in Motropoli' tan New York, Dr. Sharpe would often bring his professional friends to the Hammocks once a month in search of rest and recreation. Here John Hurst tended the Sh4rpe estate and hls wife, Gertrude, who taught in the county schools in the winter, also served as hostessto the Sharpes.

Because of the faithful service of ]ohn and Gertrude Hurst and because Dr. Sharpe decided to give up so much traveling, the property in Onslow County was offered to John and Gertrude. Mrs. Hurst decided, that by no means could she and her husband develop this land for the practical pur- pose desired; therefore, she refused the offer for herself and family and suggested that he make it available to the teach' ers in the North Carolina Teachers Association. It was felt that the black teachers of the' state, who at that tims were prohibited from using the resort areas in the state, Could enjoy a needed vacation within the limits of their meager income' A fitting tribute wag given to Mrs. Hurst when the first hall named in her honrir.
