| Hugh Gregg Return to index of stories... |

| Intro Hugh SOTs Return to index of stories... |
New Hampshire Public Television talked to him so many times over the years. Somehow, the talk always seemed to get back to politics. Take a look now at excerpts from some of those interviews. beginning with him explaining his 1996 documentary "Why Is NH So Republican?" |
| Hugh SOTs Return to index of stories... |
Why is NH So Republican? 07:35:59 The reason we're so strong, at least in my generation since I've been around here, is that we run a campaign better. We organize, we're more practical, we know what we want and we go out and get it. The Democrats have never been able to do that to the same extent that we have. Now that's a simple answer but I think it's a truthful answer. 07:36:12 Amos Tuck Special 00:03:08 The Republican Party - there's no question about it - was founded in NH on Oct. 12, 1853 at Exeter in what was then Blake's Tavern..At the time, people were concerned about slavery and the abolition of slavery was the biggest issue in the north. And that was why the people were fed up with the Democrats. And in NH, this was a particularly good incubator for the situation because at that time, the Democrats were the strongest party in this state, of any state in the nation. 00:03:56 LPA 319 03:16:29 Oh yes it has changed.didn't have instant satellite replays of everything that happened. 00:03:57 Outlook show: IN: 13:13:45 Governor, why else is it good for New Hampshire? It's good for the country. We do something no one else does. out: 13:14:32 Retail Politics Outlook show: IN: 13:21:36 When the historieans write about New Hampshire's history. out: 13:21:47 the most important thing in Government that happened." |

| Intro Reaction Return to index of stories... |
Hugh Gregg was governor for one term, but his contribution to the state of New Hampshire spanned a lifetime. He was the state's ambassador of politics and history. Most recently, he worked with The Library and Archives of New Hampshire's Political Tradition. That is where his books and other personal mementos are on display. Here is some of what those closest to him at the library, in Government and elsewhere in New Hampshire had to say. |

Thank you all for joining us. |
| Intro 1899 Return to index of stories... |
Hugh Gregg loved many of the things that define New Hampshire. Our land, our politics, our history. He took them seriously, but not himself. And so, in 1999, when we decided to do an end of the century Roundtable program, we placed it in 1899 - and asked Hugh Gregg to portray the governor of the time, Frank Rollins. Hugh Gregg readily accepted the role. He talked to our reporter about the biggest issues of that year, and what lay ahead for New Hampshire. It all made for an entertaining day of filming at the statehouse. |
| Intro Portrait Return to index of stories... |
Hugh Gregg's portrait sits on the second floor of the Statehouse in Concord. His son, Senator Judd Gregg, also a former governor, had this to say at the dedication ceremony of HIS portrait's unveiling 2 years ago. |
| Gregg Statement Return to index of stories... |
In a statement released Wednesday, Senator Judd Gregg said: "Anyone who knew my father, knew he was an extraordinary and special person who brought humor, energy and optimism to all his infinite endeavors, especially those involving promoting and improving his beloved New Hampshire. He will be greatly missed but always remembered." |
