This is Donald Wilson of Criteria. I first met Hugh when he was Asst. Supt. with Al Hurley in Stowe, Vermont. We provided all of the casework for the new school back then. When Hugh became Supt. in Bellows Falls we continued to work with Hugh providing furniture for their many schools and the Library furnishings. When i would host hospitality suites for the Vermont Supt's i recall specifically being at Topnotch and Hugh and Dave Potter went fishing for the day, when they came back they stored their catch in my refrigerator, it was quite a catch. A wonderful, kind, humble man whom i always enjoyed spending time with at the conventions and in his office.

I was sorry to hear about Hugh's passing. I worked with Hugh, and shared personal experiences as well with him for over forty-years. Hugh was a gentle, caring man always with a smile and a story.
Haven't seen him for several years, but he will always have a place in my memories.
