B *5 Barbara and Hugh Gaunt moved into their
new home, 117 Oakleaf Drive, several months ago.
They have retired to Pine Knoll Shores from Red Bank,
New Jersey. The Gaunts bought their property about 15
years ago and have been planning this move for a long
time. They have come to the beach to visit almost every
year during each season to see if they would like it.
They love it. Hugh had come to North Carolina after a
business trip and fell in love with the area. They
purchased a house in Morehead City for rental purposes
and thought they might live in that house while building
their new one. However, they sold that house and spent
some time in hotels instead.
Barbara was born in San Francisco and Hugh in
Nebraska. He moved to California as a child and they
both grew up in California, were high school
sweethearts and married during their sophomore year in
college. They will be celebrating their 45^*^ wedding
anniversary this year.
They moved to New Jersey, where Barbara was ^
homemaker and Hugh has worked the past 37 years in
New York City. They also had an apartment in New
York. Hugh's offices were at 37“^ and Madison Avenue
where he worked in the fashion industry, manufacturing
and marketing children's outerwear and did a great deal
of traveling.
The Gaunts have three children a son Greg and his wife
Pat who live in New Jersey with their four year old
daughter Haley. Barbara and Hugh's daughter Tammy
and her husband Richard, a dentist, live in Florida with
Brandon, their 9 year old son. The youngest daughter
Terri and her husband Rob will be moving closer,
Fayetteville, with their dogs, cats and a horse. Terri
rides and shows her Arabian.
The Gaunts have joined B.B.C.C. and have already
begun to collect the golf balls in their yard which is to
the right of the 7“^ fairway. They are both presently
playing golf and anticipate getting back into tennis. They
enjoy buying and refinishing antiques. Hugh has a super
workshop. Barbara has started taking a stained glas4^
class. They are very busy and really happy to be here.
