It is funny how things work in life. It wasnt that long ago that I recalled Mr Hughe's image in my mind and had a warm feeling.
Whether at Bowie or IHS, I recall his commanding presence in the halls and his announcements over the PA. He was always a friendly smile, a sense of fairness and most respectable leader. I recall Norman Hughes as a very good man who made this place a little better. I look forward to seeing him again and hope for more like him in 'this world' until that time.
God be with his family and friends.
