In 1974, Hugh Fewin was assigned to his present position, plant manager of CBI’s oldest, active fabricating plant in Greenville, Pennsylvania. This is a facility for the quality production of nuclear containment vessels, pressure vessels and research projects, such as the Tokamak Fusion Reactor currently being produced for the Plasma Physics Laboratory of Princeton University.

As an undergraduate Hugh Fewin was outstanding, playing varsity football three years, serving on the Student Council and becoming a distinguished military student.
