In 1951 Alfred Colby Hockings and his wife — he was a well-known illustrator for "Field & Stream" magazine, originally from Wisconsin but most recently living in the artists' community of Tryon, North Carolina — built a home up the street from the Gasques and Sorrys and across from the Baarslags; at almost the same time another Dutch family — Gerbrand and Nellie Poster, the son-in-law and daughter of the Baarslags — came down from New York City to visit her parents for Christmas, decided to stay, and built a home next door to her parents. (Poster was later to found Coastal Federal Savings and Loan Association and use connections developed during his military service as a Dutch national in the US Army during World War II to help convince the US government to declare that the damage done by Hurricane Hazel in 1954 should be covered by insurance. This made possible the second renaissance of the community, the first having been its emergence from the Great Depression.)
