HUGH WILSON          AHS Class of 1961
          Hugh Wilson was a member of Alliance’s 1958 state championship football team and received All-Ohio and All-Stark County honors during his three-year playing career. He was a member of the track team and ran in the 1961 state meet as a member of the Aviators’ 440-yard relay team that set a long-standing AHS record along with a school record in the 880 yard relay.
           Wilson went on to Mount Union College and worked in radio broadcasting prior to enlisting in the US Air Force in 1964.  Upon completing his tour of duty, which included service in Vietnam, he received degrees in biology and botany at Kent State University and later earned a doctorate in botany and anthropology from Indiana University.
          After a post-doctoral year at the University of Wyoming, he moved with his wife, Toni (Favazzo, AHS Class of 1960) and son, Quentin, to Texas A&M and its Department of Biology as an assistant professor. 
          A fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Wilson’s teaching and research at Texas A&M over the years has focused on plant systematics and evolution with emphasis on the natural history of selected crop plant species, their origin and dispersal.
        He is now Professor of Biology and Curator of the Departmental Herbarium at Texas A&M’s Department of Biology.
