From Washington (DC) Post June 28, 2017

Dr. Hugh LeBlanc passed away on June 7, 2017, at his residence at Amelia Island, FL. He was born 
in Tallulah, LA in 1927.

Hugh received his BA from Louisiana State University, his MA from University of Tennessee, and his

Hugh served in the United States Navy in World War II from 1945-1946 after enlisting at the age of 17

University, where he was a professor of political science for 35 years and voted Chairman of the department
