Something that you didn't mention about Procter R. Hug that I consider very important is that our school located in Reno, Nevada was named after him. We take a lot of pride in his name.

I am afraid your high school visitor from Reno is misinformed. Proctor Hug High School was named after Judge Hug's father, Proctor Hug. (I was a high school classmate of Judge Hug's son, Proctor Hug, III (Reno High '76; JD Stanford, 1983).
