Hugh started the Peninsula Skydivers in July, 1962 and was a driving force in th early days of the club. A pioneer in the early days of sport parachuting, Hugh developed a modification to the Paracommander parachute that was known as the Bergeron Cut. He and other members of the club often traveled to Regional and National competitions, often winning or placing very high.

Here is Hugh making a trademark accurate landing during competition.
