Remembering Huron - Prof. Hugh Rooney

For John Finlay, class of '61, an important influence in his life at Huron was professor and friend, Hugh Rooney. During his first year, John was a student in Prof. Rooney's Business 20 and Economics 20 courses at Huron and recalls his freshman days fondly:

"Hugh was always very pleasant and helpful always smiling. He was good to be around and we'd sometimes all go for a drink at the CPR (aka the Ceeps) after class. He made Economics and Business so interesting - which can be a challenge sometimes when you are facing something new. His door was always open - you could always talk to Hugh. I have very happy memories of my first year, and Hugh was a big reason for that."
