Hugh Gregg — former governor, writer, intelligence agent, member of the state’s Republican upper crust, father of Sen. Judd Gregg and champion of the presidential primary— died Wednesday. He was 85.
Gregg died Wednesday at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon after a brief illness, said Joel Maiola, chief of staff for Sen. Gregg in Manchester.
