Following a courageous battle with cancer, Colonel (Retired) Seth F. Hudgins Jr. '64 passed away on February 8th at his home in Cornwall, New York.
A highly decorated Army aviator who saw duty in Vietnam, Seth also served many years at West Point to include two years as Deputy Commandant of Cadets. However, he is probably best remembered for serving first as Executive Vice President from 1990 to 1993 and later as President of The Association of Graduates from 1993 until his retirement in 2007. During his tenure in these transformative years, the staff relocated into Herbert Alumni Center, West Point's Bicentennial Campaign was conducted, and major service improvements for cadets and graduates were implemented. It is hard to overstate Seth's positive impact on the Long Gray Line of today, and for generations to come.
Please keep Joy and the Hudgins family in your thoughts and prayers. Services will be held Friday, February 14th at 1330 in the Old Cadet Chapel at the West Point Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, he asked that donations be made to the Long Gray Line Endowment or to The Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, NY.
