Hudson S. Winn ’40

On Mar. 5, 1996, Hudson Winn died in Guildersland, N.Y., and had lived in nearby Slingersland for the past 44 years. From Northhampton [Mass.] H.S., he was involved in music and the Glee Club while in college. During WWII, he served as a Navy intelligence officer in the Pacific. Hudson received his doctorate degree from Northwestern U. and for 29 years was professor of biology at the State U. at Albany, retiring in 1981. In connection with his work he published a Laboratory Guide for Introductory Zoology in 1963.

Hudson's particular field of interest was ornithology, and he taught several bird classes and led many field trips. Music was an important part of the Winn family life, and Hudson was a longtime member of the Mendelssohn Club of Albany, took part in church choir singing, and was a strong supporter of the Albany Symphony Orchestra, where his wife, Nancy, played the cello.

Hudson is survived by his wife; two daughters, Susan Jacobsen and Ann Winn-Mueller; a son, Merle Winn; and five grandchildren. We send our sympathy and condolences to the entire Winn family.
