Rob and Anne Gantt hosted a party this past weekend in their beautiful loft downtown above Beaufort Clothing Company for Rob’s birthday. It was also the birthday of Carlotta Ungaro, longtime former head of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, who was back in town with her husband Maurice. Carlotta is now head of the Morrisville North Carolina Chamber of Commerce. The party also celebrated their friend Jerri Meisner’s birthday.

Carlotta said, “Rob is an anesthesiologist at Piedmont Henry Hospital and Anne is the business development representative at Newton Medical Center. They came to Beaufort in 2006 to celebrate Rob’s birthday through a mutual friend of ours. They stayed in the loft for the visit. When they found out the loft was for sale, they purchased it that year. They plan to retire there. Their daughter Elizabeth now lives in Beaufort and works at an art collective downtown. Rob and Anne currently live in Oxford, Ga. Even though they don’t live in Beaufort yet, they do come to the loft often and have been engaged in the community. They are members of Historic Beaufort Foundation and have hosted the Beaufort Hospital Foundation dinners affiliated with the Valentine Ball.

We found out it was Jerri’s birthday right before the party. She and her husband Larry Meisner live in Habersham.”

Here are some pics for you.
