• Huntsinger (continued from page 1)
Huntsinger that happened when
Huntsinger was chair of the county board of commissioners and the courthouse had not yet been renovated. “A judge threatened to bring Henry to court if he didn’t get rid of the bats in the courtroom,” Owens said. Geoff Tennant, currently the chair of the Polk County Board of Education, also served as a county commissioner with Huntsinger in the 1980s.
“Henry was interested in doing what was best for the county. He was good to work with and he sincerely wanted to help people.” -- Ted Owens
“Working with Henry was a very interesting experience,” Tennant said. “My approach to problems was based on my academic training; Henry came at them from life experience. I learned a great deal about the practical world of political life from Henry.” Tennant described Huntsinger as an “old-school” politician who did a lot of things for a lot of people in Polk County. “I had a great deal of respect for Henry, although we didn’t always agree,” Tennant said. “Working with him made me maybe a little wiser. I valued the time I spent with him.” Born in Polk County, Huntsinger was the son of the late V. H. and Maude Rowe Huntsinger. He graduated from Mill Spring High School and served in World War II in the U.S. Army. He worked for the North Carolina State Highway Department, retiring as a supervisor in l982.

Current honored as Furman Standard professor Fred Current, a retired Furman University professor who lives in Tryon, has been honored as a Furman Standard professor. The Furman Standard is a fundraising initiative designed to pay tribute to professors who have impacted Furman alumni, friends and family. The campaign’s ultimate goal is to foster mentoring and teaching excellence on campus. Contributions to The Furman Standard are earmarked for
professional development of all Furman faculty. Current, an emeritus professor of economics and business administration, is among 18 named professors for the program, which has garnered $1.2 million since its inception earlier this year. Gifts to the Furman Standard range from $25,000 to $100,000. Current was honored by donors Kevin Byrne ‘91 and spouse Laurie Byrne of Atlanta. In a statement about their gift, the Byrnes said: “Professor
Current always challenged students to achieve academic excellence, and he also prepared us for practical application. He was a true academic entrepreneur and professor of engaged learning before engaged learning was the standard.” Current was named professor emeritus at Furman after a 20-year teaching career (197999). Known for support of his students, he received the Alester G. and Janie Earle Furman Meritorious Advising Award.
In 1990, he was selected as recipient of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation and the Foundation for Independent Higher Education Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award. Current also consulted with corporate and private professional clients about financial accounting training for nonaccountants, his special area of interest. He completed his graduate (Continued on page 15)
